Men passing buckets of water up to roof of the M. Kibe house in Fife, which was saved from a disastrous fire at Fife Corners. Fire is visible behind house. Photograph was taken near Milton Avenue (20th St. E.) and West Side Dairy Rd. (54th Ave. E.) near the site of present Fife Swimming Pool; at the time of the fire, Fife Corners was located a half mile south of Andre's Market and the Century Ballroom. A property loss of $25,000 was attributed to the wide ranging fire. Fire fighting efforts were hampered by a lack of water and fire fighting equipment. (T.
