June 7, 1938
Belching black smoke and the clanging of the Neepawa fire bell announced to Neepawa citizens Friday night just before six o’clock that the Neepawa Salt Limited plant was in for a big fire. Within half an hour damage to the extent of about $7,000 was done which also meant that 25 employees would be without work temporarily. The fire started in the roof of the storage building on the west side. It was noticed by Vincent Merriman, who broke into the office building and telephoned the fire brigade. Almost at the same time the smoke was noticed by the watchmen, Fred Mizen, who had passed through the building a few minutes before but had noticed nothing amiss then. The tar paper on the roof burned quickly sending up clouds of black smoke that drifted east over the town giving the impression of a gigantic blaze. With only one hydrant to get water from, the firemen were hindered somewhat but even at that they had the fire under control within half an hour.
