Fire at the Victualling Yard Deptford.
On Tuesday forenoon a fire broke out in the Victualling Yard, which
for a time threatened serious consequences. It commenced in a large
kiln used for preparing oats for oatmeal, and when discovered the
flames were issuing from the roof with great violence. The alarm
bell was instantly rung, and the whole ot the military, police, and
labourers engaged in this yard, as well as in the Royal Dockyard
adjoining, were immediately on the spot. The engines belonging to
the establishment, eight in number, were conveyed to the scene, and
instantly brought to play on the flames. The Victualling Yard gates
were closed. A mounted express was despatched to London, and in the
course of an hour returned with the brigade engines from
Southwark-bridge-road, Watling-street, and other stations. In the
interval, however, the fire by extraordinary exertior, had been got
under, and its ravages confined to the kiln, which has received much
damage, a portion of the roof being completely consumed, and three
quarters of oats destroyed.
