| Sam Mednicow's Used Cars2230 State Street, corner of London DriveMonday, January 25, 1971
Legendary
local used car salesman, Sam Mednicow, was slightly injured when the
space heater in the office of his used car dealership exploded on Monday,
January 25, 1971. Several cars in his inventory were destroyed along
with the office. Platoon 2, under the direction of Deputy Chief James
Strain, responded with Engines 3 and 4, Ladder 2 and Rescue 1. The
ladder pipe of the new ladder truck was put into action successfully
despite the notoriously narrow mains on State Street at that time.
