06 May 1954 - A fire that went undetected until it was too late destroyed the home, garage, automobile and all the personal belongings of a well known Gulf Hammock family late Friday night. R.L. Mozo, his wife and 15 year old son returned about 10 P.M. from a political rally in Bronson to find their home burned to the ground. Believed to have started from a short circuit in a kitchen range the fire burned unnoticed until the house was almost completely engulfed and with the nearest fire department 18 miles away in Chiefland, no effort was made to call them to the blaze. The Mozo famly moved in with a married son, James Mozo, who also lives in Gulf Hammock. The elder Mozo operates a sawmill there and has been a resident for about 20 years. Nothing was saved in the fire and the loss, including a 1952 Pontiac sedan will total about $18,000.
