School Students Help 

At Fire In Elsmere 

Elsmere public school students volunteered as a fire salvage squad late yesterday afternoon when the home of J. L. Van Wie was partly destroyed by fire at a loss estimated at between $3,500 and $4,000. 

Most of the furniture in the home was saved by the school boys who carried out household articles until the smoke prevented them from entering the building. 

The fire is believed to have originated from an electric iron which was left turned on by Mrs. Van Wie while she went on a short visit to the home of Mrs. George E. Jones across the street. 

While the two women were talking Mrs. Jones happened to glance out of a side window and observed that the back part of the Van Wie home was in flames. The Elsmere fire department was summoned. 

In the meantime the fire was seen by the pupils in the nearby public school, and the boys at once volunteered to form a salvage squad. 

Although the flames were confined to the back of the house the entire building was badly damaged by smoke and water. Mr. Van Wie, it is reported, is covered by insurance.
