From The Providence News, January 25, 1929:

[i]Warwick, Jan. 25. —-The Apponaug Volunteer Fire Company was called out last night to a blaze in the bowling alley owned by Edward Isaacson on Main Street, Apponaug, shortly after 10:30. The fire was caused by defective wiring in the ceiling and was extinguished with little damage.

Luckily the blaze was not discovered a short time before it was as more serious results might have been caused. The bowling alley is directly under a moving picture theatre and a large audience had just left the building when the fire alarm was sent in.[/i]
