OCTOBER 20, 1927 The Community Hall at Buttonville was completely destroyed on Wednes- ‘day night by a fire which for some time threatened the whole neighbour- hood. The alarm was first given aâ€" bout nine-thirty and many volunteers from the surrounding district lent aid in fighting the flames. The Richmond Hill Fire Brigade were called and were quickly on the scene with their equipment and men. Water was se- cured from the creek and in short time streams of water were keeping the flames in check. The local bri- gade did excellent work and had it not been for the assistance the toll of the fire it would have been very much greater as the strong wind faned the flames to great fury. The residents of the Buttonville community in con- versation with The Liberal this morn- ing were loud in their praise of the work of the Richmond Hill brigade. The hall was used for the various activities of the community' and was moved to Buttonville from its former location on the fifth concession were it served as a church about three years ago. Everything in the hall was burned and it is estimated that the loss is in the neighbourhood of three thousand dollars. The cause of the fire is unknown. D.D.G.Fii.

COMMUNITY HALL PREY T0 FLAMES Fire Chief Attends Fire in Full Dress Attire It is a well known fact that Richmond Hill has a Fire Bri- gade up to date in every par- ticular. The town is proud of them and the members of the brigade take a personal pride in the efficiency of the organiz ation but it was not generally known until Wednesday night that they are also very particu- lar that they attend all fires imacutely dressed. Buttonville residents were somewhat sur- prised to see the chief of the Brigade arrive in full dreSS atâ€" tire and to day are asking how this municipality manages to dress its officials so elaborate- ly. Incidently it might be men- tioned that it is not made possâ€" ible by the generous appreciâ€" ation of Markham Township Council of the fire protection rendered by the Richmond Hill Brigade. Fire Chief Mills was in attendance at Lodge when the fire alarm was sounded on Wednesday and needless to say rushed to the scene of the fire without the necessary delay of changing from his dross togs.
