<br />1-16-02 <br />Caledonia,Wi (Racine Co.) <br />Update from house fire
The cause of the fire in the 7300 Blk. of Forty Archers Rd. Was caused from a 1990 Corvette that exploded in the garage. The owner of the residents told fire officials he saw flames coming from the car after he parked it in the garage. The 2 firefighters injured were treated and released from the hospital with minor injuries. Both firefighters were lucky that only the drywall fell on them and not the roof. The reason for the drywall to come down was from heavy water. The 2 firefighters will return from work next week.

S. America was towed away 1st because of the direction of the gale like wind from the northwest -When it became time to move the S. S.

Dolle, observed that the pier was slowly sinking & Chief Engineer Lotz ordered all firefighters to get back on land, not wanting to risk their lives since the pier was gone anyway - Meanwhile, all 4 fireboats were fighting the fire on the S. S. George Washington, the Torrent coming so close to the blazing vessel that it's pilot house was engulfed in flames - Mate John T. Hoffman was burned about the face as he vainly tried to put the fire out before the Fireboat Deluge turned 1 of her monitor pipes on the burning pilot house & extinguished the fire - By 2400hrs the big former troopship was a mass of charred & warped steel, but still burning brightly - It was 42 years old, built @ a cost of $3,000,000, & converted in 1942 @ a cost of $8,500,000 - Injured were Firefighters Roy Oswald, E-15, Attlee K. Lathan, E-26, Daniel Long, E-48, Nicholas Hovaker, T-23, William Gottschalk, E-32, & Herbert Stonesifer, E-47 - Firefighters remained on the scene for the next 4 days - The Box#414 Association had a busy night; in fact for the next several days they were busy around the clock - In the club quarters @ 530 N Calvert St, were (2) brand new 10 gallon coffee urns, & they brewed 233 gallons of coffee, made over 2,000 sandwiches, & dispensed 200 dozen of buns & doughnuts - The 414 members carried the foodstuffs to the scene of the fire, 10 miles distant, in 5 gallon portable thermos urns - Mr. Frank J.

<br />1-16-02 <br />Caledonia,Wi (Racine Co.) <br />Update from house fire
The cause of the fire in the 7300 Blk. of Forty Archers Rd. Was caused from a 1990 Corvette that exploded in the garage. The owner of the residents told fire officials he saw flames coming from the car after he parked it in the garage. The 2 firefighters injured were treated and released from the hospital with minor injuries. Both firefighters were lucky that only the drywall fell on them and not the roof. The reason for the drywall to come down was from heavy water. The 2 firefighters will return from work next week.
