Smoky New York Theatre Fire

Smoky New York Theatre Fire

Seven firemen, including a deputy chief, were treated for minor injuries or smoke inhalation during an early morning fire which damaged a theatre and seven stores, and threatened a large apartment house on Broadway near 88th street, New York City, December 11th.

All the injured remained at the scene. The first alarm was received at 7:50 A.M., the second at 8:21 and the fire was pronounced under control at 10:25 A.M. Actually, a three-alarm force went to work because the second alarm sounded just when company shifts were changing and both relieving and relieved firemen went to work.
