As It was. the dam ige amounted to

the smoke was pouring in hlaek clouds

results not only for the Bulley home,

A half hour previous to this alarm
tho South Richmond lir? department,
had responded to a call from 905 Perry
Street, where the residence of Sir?.

ered by the department before it im?
able to do any damage worth speak?
ing of. and the fire apparatus was
driven back to the station Just In time
to respond to the other alarm.
