NEW CROWLAND TRUCK HAS ITS FIRST FIRE
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 13 January 1921]
Crowland’s new fire truck had its first experience in active service yesterday, when an alarm was rung for a fire in Maple Leaf Park, a frame house owned by Charles Chaffey being on fire. The truck was on the scene in five minutes and when it arrived the flames were ten feet higher than the roof. The fire was soon put out and the house was damaged only in the attic.
One item in the contents of the attic was $500 in bills. These were picked up after the fire and were uninjured/
The new truck on its first trip saved about $2000 worth of property.
