Spontaneous Combustion Brings Fire Brigade to Scene

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

At 12.40 o'clock this morning, six fire engines, led by the chief's car and a giant hook-and-ladder raced to the scene of a fire which was rapidly consuming the seat of a Model A Ford car parked on the corner of Linden and Bow streets. With considerable difficulty, the entire front seat of the automobile was removed, the conflagration was extinguished, and the fire apparatus disappeared into the night.
