Fire at Blandinsville 1902

This article gives a bit more details and notes that Blandinsville had no fire equipment. "C. A. Fisher lost a building, all of his household goods, and most of his stock of notions. The total loss was from $2.000 ta $2,500 with but $500 insurance....There ls no firefighting appliance in Blandinsville and water ie scarce there. The citizens who hastily assembled could do little, although they worked heroically removing goods from the buildings and carrying water from the few paces obtainable....Only 20 feet west is a dwelling house, owned and occupied by William Fisher. This caught on fire several times but was saved. With the scant means of
fighting fire people are marveling that the building still stands."
