News from The Roanoke Times-Looking Back
News from The Roanoke Times-Looking Back:
These were in the paper yesterday. Interesting reading. I do not have these articles yet. I will need to get by the Library, maybe Wednesday for a look-see. The two fire departments mentioned would have been the Junior Fire Company #2 operating out of the old fire station #1 at Jefferson and Kirk, and the Friendship Fire Company operating out of Fire Station #3 at 4th and East N.E. (later changed to #2).
n "A disastrous fire visited The Times plant yesterday evening ... and nothing but the prompt and fearless work of the members of the two fire departments saved it from utter destruction. It is now being operated under a very crippled condition ..."
n "Dirt for the new fire station No. 1 ... was broken yesterday and the building will be pushed to completion with all possible speed."
