A fire was reported in the 25th September 1914 issue of the Mitcham & Tooting Mercury:

FIRE.

Shortly after half-past two on Saturday afternoon, the No. 1 Fire Brigade received a call to a fire which had broken out at 3, Fair Green, premises occupied by Mr Victor Reeves, hair dresser. Supt. Jenner and eight men proceeded with the motor engine, and found the fire had originated on the third floor, consuming the flooring and wooden partition. The fire was extinguished by a few buckets of water, and the damage, which is covered by insurance, is estimated at about £15. The cause of the outbreak is unknown.

Note that the number 1 Fire Brigade was at Lower Green West.
