The blaze, or rather the start of one, occurred in the Ries barber shop next to the Tivoli saloon, and is supposed to have started from a defective flue.

(November 2, 1900) Damgaard & Christensen will open their saloon in Ferndale next Saturday evening. (November 13, 1900) The Tivoli saloon, Christensen and Damgaard, props was opened to the public in Ferndale Wednesday evening.... (November 23, 1900) Hans Christensen has accepted a position as dispenser of liquid refreshments in Damgaard & Christensen's "Tivoli" saloon on Main Street. (February 8, 1901) Christensen & Damgaard, proprietors of the Tivoli Saloon in Ferndale, have dissolved partnership, the first-named gentleman retiring from the business, which will be conducted in the future solely by Mr. Damgaard. Chris is yet undecided as to what he will do. (May 21, 1901) Andrew A. Damgaard of Ferndale and Miss Selma Seablum of Eureka, married Saturday evening, Eureka...Mr. and Mrs. Damgaard will make their home in Ferndale, where the groom is engaged in business. (October 22, 1901) Early Sunday morning Ferndale had a very narrow escape from what might have been a most disastrous conflagration. At about 4 o'clock a.m. Matt Olsen, the night bar tender at A. Damgaard's Tivoli saloon in Jas Mullady's building on Main Street, heard something popping, and opening the back door saw the reflection of a blaze on the side fence. He lost no time to making an investigation, and in the woodshed found a fire crawling up the partition which separates the woodshed from the main building. He immediately "hooked on" the hose to a faucet, and in a minute or so had the fire out, but it was discovered none too soon. In fact, had Mr. Olsen even been in the front of the saloon or out of hearing of the snapping the result would have been a conflagration and a bad one, for no place in the entire town affords a better chance for a fire to make rapid headway, owing to the number of sheds, etc., there situated. That the fire was the work of an incendiary there seems but little if any doubt, for Mr. Olsen found a number of boxes piled one on the other, with straw, excelsior, etc., intermingled, and to which the match had been applied, and these boxes were previously scattered around the woodshed, it not having been the custom to pile them up in one place. Suspicion points to a certain party as the offender, but he may be entirely innocent, as there is nothing as yet, aside from a mere suspicion, to connect him with the crime. The matter should be thoroughly investigated, however, for the offense is a most diabolical one, notwithstanding it resulted in no damage The fact that the blaze was discovered in time was simply a piece of good luck, and had the fire had two minutes more of a start, Ferndale would have had a blaze that would have proven most costly. Not only the Mullady but the Meng building, the Gill buildings, B.O. Hart's structures, the Boynton & Hall warehouse, and probably several other buildings would have gone up in smoke without a doubt. (June 17, 1902) Chris Christensen, Matt Olsen and another party have purchased from Andrew Damgaard the Tivoli Saloon in Ferndale, but it is stated that Mr. Damgaard will retains an interest in the business. Andrew and his wife will leave next week for San Francisco, in which city they will perhaps make their home. (January 30, 1903) Carpenters Kerri were at work Wednesday making improvements at the Tivoli Saloon, the front of which has been set back several feet. The interior of the Tivoli is also to be repapered and repainted. (February 6, 1903) Painters Matthews and Hartley were engaged this week in repainting the interior and front of the Tivoli saloon. Messrs Christensen and Olsen, the proprietors of this resort, are also to lay linoleum on the floor in the front part of their building and will certainly have a very neat place of business when the improvements are completed.

(December 19, 1905) Will Stevens, who returned to Ferndale recently from a short visit to relatives in the East, has purchased the interest in the Tivoli Saloon in this place, owned by Matt Olsen. Mr. Stevens recently disposed of a half interest in the business to M. Sullivan. Mr. Olsen and family will remain in this section through the coming summer at least, and may decide to stay here permanently. (January 30, 1906) What might have been one of the most destructive fires that ever visited Ferndale occurred last Sunday morning, and but for the efficient and hard work done by our volunteer fire department, made possible by Ferndale's new gasoline engine, a large portion of the business section of the Cream City would have gone up in smoke. The fire, which was discovered about a few minutes after six o'clock, was seen first by Amos Cummings of Union Mattole, who had passed the night in Ferndale and had risen early...The blaze originated in the James Mullady building on Main Street, and when discovered the flames were shooting from the southwest portion of the roof of the structure, high into the sky, and from appearances at the time seem to have gained such headway that the building itself and those of B.O. Hart and M.P. Meng adjoining were doomed. The flames originated in the second room from the front of the building on the upper floor and are supposed to have been caused by the occupant of the room carelessly throwing a match or a lighted cigar onto the floor...did not finally quench the flames until after an hour or so of the hardest kind of work...the flames were confined entirely to the upper story of the building in which they started...The principal damage done by fire was to the upper floor of the Mullady building, which is used as a rooming house and conducted by Messrs. Sullivan & Stevens, who are also proprietors of the Tivoli Saloon, occupying the ground floor of the structure....Mr. Hart's loss consists of a good portion of the roof of the north end of his building being injured by fire and also by the water used in bringing the blaze under subjection...J.R. Flynn, whose barber shop is located on the ground floor of the Hart building, was also flooded with water...he is now conducting his business in the office building a few doors to the north, recently vacated by Dr. Miller, but will again be ready to serve his customers in his old stand in a few days... (March 6, 1906) Jay Weaver, who lodges in one of the rooms in the Mullady building, wherein Sunday morning's fire occurred, had some difficulty in getting out of the burning building in that he is so unfortunate as to have lost one of his legs and only walks with the aid of an artificial limb. When Jay was awakened smoke was entering his room, and in the little time left him to make his escape saving nothing but the clothing he could first lay his hands upon. His belongings were not injured by the fire which did not reach his room, but were so badly damaged by water that his loss will not be an altogether small one. (March 6, 1906) Owing to the work of remodeling the Tivoli Saloon building on Main Street which has been going on the last few days, the resort has been closed to the public... (March 13, 1906) The work of repairing the damage to the Tivoli saloon building on Main Street, caused by the fire of a couple of weeks ago, is progressing quite rapidly and already the structure has been roofed, paper being used as a covering instead of shingles. It will be two or three weeks, however, before the carpenters will complete the job. The work of repapering and repainting the interior of the lower story, in which is located Messrs Sullivan & Stevens' saloon, will not be long delayed now.
