Multiple Alarm Fires Keep San Francisco Firemen on the Alert
Three multiple-alarm fires within seven hours on November 21-22 gave San Francisco firemen a stiff workout and provided the busiest day in several months.
First of the series of fires began when a blaze started in the basement of the Colton House, a small hotel on Third Street, near Howard, in the Skid Row district. Box 2177 was pulled at 5:57 p. m. Engine 3, just around the corner, pulled in to find smoke pouring from the basement of the building and flames threatening to spread to the entire building.
