100 Years Ago: New Rochelle

From Firehouse Magazine's "Rekindles", October 2005:

"Oct. 9, 1905: New Rochelle, NY - A wood-frame building that stored oil and gasoline was the scene of a stubborn fire. The alarm was turned in at 8pm and saw the response of the entire New Rochelle Fire Department within minutes. Gleaming rigs decked with flowers and firemen in full uniforms and white gloves were marching toward their annual inspection when the alarm rang out. An explosion extended the flames to several other structures, but the department was able to bring the stubborn fire under control."
