Firemen in Deeds of Valor Save Fifty From Soap Factory Blaze
Fifty firefighters were rescued from boiling soap at W. H. Daggitt's Sons soap factory on West Twelfth Street. Amid explosions from 70,000 gallons of soap rats, Acting Chief Binns split crews to fight the blaze and rescue trapped comrades. Fire Lieutenant Martin Mahoney dived into hot lye to save Fireman Clancy, both severely injured. Mahoney helped Clancy as others pulled them from the vat. Another shift of 30 firefighters replaced the exhausted unit as casualties increased, though most injuries came from combat in the fire zone rather than flames.
