This one's so getting added to my Historic Oakwood narrative...
From Raleigh Fire Department, Daily Report of Fires, February 12, 1963:
Time out: 12:47 p.m.
Time in: 1:45 p.m.
Alarm: Telephone
Address: 216 N. Bloodworth Street

Considering the nature of the call, clearing in less than an hour is pretty good!

Tramp Dunn told a story from years earlier in his career about answering a call to assist RPD in catching a Pole Cat. I wonder how that entry reads in the "daily Log" Most certainly the log entry isn’t as funny as Tramps’ version is.

If I was on this call, we still wouldn’t clear til this day.
