On Monday night firemen were called out at about 11 p.m. to a fire at the home of Ross Brott at 165 East 2nd South where a passing motorist noticed that a garage and storage building were ablaze. The unknown man called the Fire Department and then proceeded to keep the fire under control until their arrival with a hose at the residence. His action possibly saved the premises from some very serious damage. Damage to the structure which is next to several chicken coops and a hay barn was estimated by firemen at around $200.
