Deputy Chief O'Hara, of New York, Dead
Deputy Chief John F, O'Hara, commander of the fire department of New York city in the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, passed away quietly while he was sleeping at his home on Saturday, December 18. It is believed that death resulted from the severe exposure of fighting a four-alarm fire in Brooklyn on the night previous.
He had an appointment with Fire Marshal Brophy and when his wife went to wake him from his nap, she found him dead. When Chief Kenlon was notified of the loss of his valuable assistant, he was greatly affected. Both men were working together in fighting the large warehouse fire.
