1938 - Donald Behmer

1938 - May 11 - House minus Flue Caused Fire Alarm
    A fire alarm Monday morning uncovered a news story that has probably never been written before - a house without a chimney.

    Donald Behmer recently purchased and remodeled the house near the old Arlington Station known as "Shady Point" and last week moved into the place.

    On Monday morning a fire was built in a stove and in about an hour smoke was noticed seeping thorugh the roof, and the fire truck was called.

    The firs lads tried to get into the attic to locate the fire, but the smoke drove them back so they started chopping through the roof and further incestigation revealed that the cold chimney had been dismantled to below the roof and a new covering had been placed over it.

    Water on the fire in the stove quickly stopped the "blaze" in the attic

    The damage to the roof is covered by insurance and Don Behmer has decided to build a chimney before the stove is used again.
