The C.F. Moyer Creamery suffered damage from a fire on November 5, 1892. The Millersburg, Hose, Hook and Ladder were quick to the scene but connections to the hydrant either weren't opened enough or the plugs were full of mud. An adequate stream of water was not had. The roof burned off, but the rest of the building was saved.
