English: Hastings and St Leonards Observer - Saturday 27 September 1924
HASTINGS FIREMEN TO THE RESCUE. The Hastings Fire Brigade were called to Bexhill on Friday night, when a serious fire devastated Messrs. Miller and Franklin's furnishing department at the junction of St Leonards Road and Wilton Road. with damage estimated at many thousands of pounds. Shortly after eleven, when the fire had reached a critical stage, the Hastings Brigade was summoned. Captain Alderman Hocking and Lieutenant Chessum, with their men, immediately responded, and in eleven minutes, having attained a speed of 58 miles an hour on the Hastings front, the motor fire engine, Mary, was on the scene. The Hastings men established themselves at a window at the back of the burning building, and from that point of vantage rendered invaluable help until 2.30 on Saturday morning, when they returned, leaving the fire well under control. The Bexhill Brigade throughout showed the greatest gallantry, particularly Fireman Sydney Albert Wise, who sustained serious injuries through the telescoping of a fire escape, and died on Tuesday at the Royal East Sussex Hospital. An inquest was held on Thursday, when the Deputy Borough Coroner (Mr. H. Davenport Jones) returned a verdict of "Death by misadventure.". |
