Mr. and Mrs. O.L. Murrey render first-aid to an unidentified young man who helped save some of their furnishings from the devastating fire that swept through Fife Corners on May 9, 1935. The 30 mph winds from the southwest carried burning shingles from one building to another in the small community, damaging nearly twenty homes and businesses. Residents fought the fires with old-fashioned bucket brigades and soaked gunny sacks as fire fighting equipment and a ready water supply were not available. There was more than $20,000 damage including the Murrey's home which was leveled. (TDL 5-10-35, p. 1-article; T.Times 5-10-35, p. 1-photograph & article)

Weary and stunned residents of Fife Corners check out the remnants of homes and businesses demolished by fire on May 9, 1935. The air is still thick with smoke as eight buildings were destroyed and many others damaged by the fire which was carried by strong winds. Although residents and volunteers tried their best, and managed to save or minimize damage to some buildings, their efforts were hampered by lack of water and fire fighting equipment.
