Second Fire Routs Family
View transcription
Awakened by the smell of smoke early yesterday morning, Mrs. Lillian Scull, of 717 North Tenth street, Camden, found fire had broken out in her home for the second time within a dozen hours. Hastily arousing her two small children and a dog, Mrs. Scull climbed out of the window on to the porch roof and made her way to the home of a neighbor. An alarm was turned in and the blaze, in a closet, was quickly extinguished. Friday afternoon there had been a fire in the partition downstairs and this is supposed to have smoldered and broken out afresh later. The woman's husband, a railroader, was not at home.
