“Friends In Need’
The town of Flint ‘Hill was awakened at three o’clock on Sunday morning with the shout of “Fire”. Claude Foster happened to see the flames rising in the air from the rear of Mrs. Mable Browning’s home. He gave the alarm.
The south end of the town was soon abuzz. Due to the hard, able work of the fire companies of Flint Hill, Front Royal, Sperryville and Amissville and also due to the lack of wind, the fire was soon under control. However, the firemen worked diligently until about 7:30 A.M.
Flint Hill certainly feels indebted to these fire companies and to the twerynttanen, Col. Eads and Mr. Pullen from the Salvation Army in Front Royal, who helped the ladies of the Flint Hill Auxiliary to dispense hot coffee, sandwiches and buns to the cold, tired firemen. The Salvation Army seems to always be there in an emergency.
One of the Front Royal Firemen, Francis Forbes, was overcome by smoke. We were sorry about this and do hope that he is all right now.
Our greatest thanks and praise to “the unsung heroes”, the Volunteer Fjretnen «nd ft) the Salvation Army.
