FIRE DEPT. THERE WITH THE SPEED

Quick Response to Call from Ice Cream Factory

[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 17 May 1921]

The Welland Fire Department lost no time in getting to the scene of action. Last Saturday evening about half-past seven a motor burned out at Kabelin’s Ice Cream Factory, on Patterson Ave.

The siren sounded a quarter to seven and blew steadily for a few minutes and the trucks would have been at the fire if it hadn’t been for a train crossing on the Grand Trunk which held them up for a few minutes. When they arrived the chemicals soon extinguished the blaze and all there was to be seen was the smoke from the smoulderings.

Mr. Kabelin arrived on the scene a short time after the fire and found that there wasn’t a great deal of damage done.
