A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
[Welland Telegraph, 27 February 1912]
Welland was not in any actual need of further demonstration of the necessity of a fire alarm system, but nevertheless such a demonstration was given at an early hour on Thursday morning, when the Lambert house took fire on Griffith Street and was destroyed.
Chief Stapf was the first to see the fire, and he at once telephoned to central to communicate the alarm to the town hall, and have the bell rung. Notwithstanding this, he was able to dress, get to the town hall and ring the alarm himself before the message had been put in operation.
Some day the country village system of raising a fire alarm will result in serious disaster.
