Fire at residence of Mrs. Edwin Skinner

The owners of the house were in San Francisco at the time and the fire was reported by B. Dickenson who lives across the street. The Fire Team was mobilized with two wagons and fire extinguishers however B. Dickenson just walked across the street and put out the fire with water. Fire Team responded well and the Chief said the next time that no one would be allowed to “butt in”.
