The Huntley fire departmient and other citizens extinguished the fires in two hours. The strong wind fanned the blaze making it more difficult to extinguish.
In many places the firemen were unable to connect to water and had to fight some of the blazes with fire brooms. Fortunately no damage to property has been reported at this

The building has ben used, as far as we know, for a restaurant and drug store before. There has been much talk as whe¬ ther or not Huntley needs a laun- dromaL However, Hampshire has one and supports it very nicely.
