Liberty Hose Co. No. 2 - Incident Detail #1780

Shortly before 1 o'clock p.m. on Thursday, May 23, 1946, fire occurred in the living room of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Golden's South Street home. Mr. Golden noticed smoke in the house and immediately telephoned for assistance to the Liberty Hose Company No. 2, who responded and was later assisted by the Wiconisco Fire Engine Company. The combined efforts of the fire companies prevented the fire from spreading to other nearby homes, however the Golden residence was considered a complete loss, which together with its furnishings was estimated to exceed $5,000 damage.
