Fire in Bound Brook entailing what is estimated to be a $25,000 property loss was caused here early last night by an explosion of gasoline in Ryno's plumbing establishment in East street. Had it not been for the heavy downpour of rain, the loss and burned area would unquestionably have been much larger, as the nature of the buildings would have made them an easy prey to the flames, despite the heroic efforts of the firemen. The building in which the blaze originated was entirely burned as was also David Cavalier's plumbing store next door. The fruit store conducted by D. Bertoli, at East and Main streets, was badly damaged and the stock almost ruined by smoke and water. George Efinger's bowling alleys and sporting goods store in Main street were badly gutted and the flames were just eating their way into George B. Lindauer's paint store when gotten under control.
