Rookies Attend Fire
Eighteen young men from the Cleveland, Ohio, Fire Department’s Academy were yanked out of classroom on their second day in school by Battalion Chief Emmet H. Byrne and hustled to witness a first hand 5-alarm plus smoky, torrid blaze in the plant of the Phil-Mar Corp., at 1566 E. 24th St., Cleveland, on Nov. 2, 1949. Then and there they got an instructive demonstration of what it takes to he a fireman.
