75 Years Ago Warsaw city firemen are a little angry at the method used in getting them down to the fire station yesterday afternoon on a work detail. Chief Charles Frush notified a number of the smoke eaters to appear at the fire station and assist in re-assembling of the hose used in the blaze at the Black and White barber shop, Tuesday evening. However, no one showed up so the alarm was sounded, which brought nearly the entire company to the station. The work was completed in record time but firemen say they will be sure of a fire before answering the next call.
