Life Lost at Atlantic City Hotel Fire
One person died and eight were injured when fire trapped ninety-eight guests in the Iroquois Hotel on South Carolina avenue, Atlantic City, N. J., recently. The fire started in the kitchen of the seven-story frame and brick building and spread so quickly that many of the guests had to be guided to safety.
The hotel was in the heart of the side street hotel section. When the fire was discovered, employees of the hotel went through the halls trying to rouse the guests but many slept on until awakened by the smoke. Then there was a mad rush to windows and loud shouting for help.
