Collins, Clarence (Shop Fire - FEB 1963)

Two fire departments battled in vain as a noontime fire roared through a Humbird (Clark Co., Wis.) landmark Friday when Clarence Collins’ repair shop was destroyed in Humbird.

Collins was eating lunch in his home next door to the 30 by 50 foot one-story frame building when his wife noticed smoke.

Fire departments from Alma Center-Humbird and Fairchild sent about 20 men and at least three truck to the scene, but found that flames had burst through the roof of the 60-year-old sheet metal covered building by the time they arrived.
