Mayor Charles H. Ellis ordered an investigation into the $200,000 fire that destroyed the Economy Store and adjoining buildings at 427-429 Kaighn Avenue, injuring five Camden firemen — one of them, Captain Martin B. Carrigan, critically.
The chemical engine of No. 7 Company, answering a fire alarm on Sycamore Street, sideswiped a Kaighn Avenue trolley and threw firemen Horace Cairns and George Boone to the street.
City Council's Fire Committee named William Deno captain of the new fire company at Tenth Street and Kaighn Avenue, effective July 1, 1910, and sent John H. McTaggart to the Kaighn Avenue firehouse near Sixth Street.
