A NOONDAY FIRE
[Welland Telegraph, 6 February 1891]
Just after the bell had announced 12 o’clock yesterday, the firemen were summoned by the alarm to the house of Mr. John Peach, on Burgar street, where a fire was in progress, and which they extinguished before a great deal of damage had been done to the building. The fire is supposed to have originated from the chimney, and when discovered it had burned a considerable portion between the roof and ceiling. Mrs. Peach was busy preparing the dinner at the time, but as soon as she learned of the fire dispatched her boy to give the alarm, then with the assistance of some neighbors commenced to clear the house of furniture, most of which was carried out The building belongs to Mrs. Clement, of Buffalo, and the damage is covered by insurance in the Mercantile.
