The fire fighters and e- quipment from six commu- nities including Bluffton, Un- iondale, Preble, Liberty, Petroleum, and Ossian as- sisted one another to over- come the fast advancing flames. The fight to save at least a part of the building became more hazardous as debris began to fall around the fire- men manning the hoses. The flames jumped as high as 75 to 100 feet as the roof col- lapsed. The flames were vis- ible from the north edge of Bluffton. 5 The Fire of1958 On Tuesday, April 15, 1958 at 11:15 p.m., a fire of undetermined origin destroyed the west half of the Lancaster Central School.
