Arriving on the scene, the company found that the front roof was on fire. Connections were made, but no water was used. The fire was was extinguished before doing much damage. Damage was estimated at $10. From the fact that there was no fire in the house, the cook stove being in a back kitchen, the fire's origin was attributed to a spark from a neighboring factory stack.
