DALY CITY’s BIG FIRE
Daly City suffered from a destructive fire on Tuesday morning in which half a dozen homes were destroyed at a loss of about $10,000.
The fire started about 7:30 a.m. in the beautiful cottage on the corner of Mission street and Alpha avenue, caused by the explosion of a gasoline stove. The ELLISONS were away on a vacation and the house was being cared for by the son-in-law and daughter, V.A. BRINK and wife. Mr. BRINK generate the stove and then went to the A. SEMI grocery store across the street, when he heard the explosion. He returned instantly and grabbed the hose, but the same was dry, thus preventing him from extinguishing the blaze, which he says he could easily have done if he had water. Fire Commissioner SMACK rushed across the street and he also states that the fire could have been extinguished easily if there had been any water at hand, but it spread rapidly and the cottage was soon enveloped in flames.
The entire volunteer fire department responded and at once went to work to save if possible the adjoining property but the fight was too uneven and the flames soon spread to the house of Mrs. Emily LOCHT, and soon that was a seething furnace. The firemen then directed their attention to the beautiful home that is owned by Miss Jennie JONES and the Misses Julia and Susie LEONARD, teachers, and so effectively did they work that the building was saved, although not without considerable damage. Finally the LOCHT building fell and the victory was son, thanks partially to the one little 1 ½ inch stream of water from the Vista Grande school building that in itself was so weak that it supplied very little water at the top of the JONES-LEONARD building.
In the meantime, the BRINK cottage took fire and thus the flames were connected with the large house of Charles F. JOHNSON, to the east and the same was soon burning briskly and set fire to the William WESTON cottage and then to two refugee shacks occupied by Jack OYPANCBAL the milk man, where the fire stopped on account of a number of sheds having been torn down to save the only remaining cottage in that direction.
A large number of people gathered during the conflagration and everybody worked with willing hands to save the contents of the buildings so that nearly all the furniture in most of the buildings was saved.
A large force of men were working on the reconstruction of the United Railroad and Division. Superintendent ALLEN commendably ordered his men to assist the fire fighters, which they did with good effect. (Note – as printed)
The losses and insurance are as follows:
N. ELLISON, loss $3500; insured $2500
V.A. BRINK, $350; no insurance
Wm WESTON, $1500; insurance expired May 23
Mrs. Emilie LOCHT, $2500, insurance $1000
Chas M. JOHNSON, $3500; insurance unknown
Jack OYPANSCBAL $350; no insurance
JONES-LEONARDS $500; insured $2500
The fire was indeed a fine object lesson for the support of the water bonds and many people who had previously opposed the bonds, unhesitatingly declared that they will vote YES at the election Saturday, June 21. Just think, reader, over one-tenth of the amount of the proposed bond issue was lost by fire because of no water supply. That can never happen under municipal ownership.
