Fire Dept Saves Drive-in Screen

Times Independent, 29 April 1954, page 1

Wednesday of last week with the Grand Opening of the Grand Vu Drive-In Theatre just a few hours away, fire broke out in weeds and grass in the creek bottom near the Howard Lance place, and for a time threatened the new screen.

The boys of the fire department responded instantly to the call and save the big screen from damage by heat, stopping the fire only a short distance from the gigantic screen.

Needless to say, thanks were extended by the Lances and the many folks who took in the Grand Opening Wednesday evening.
