Smallpox hospital burned in Saco Maine blaze forces evacuations
Fire at the Biddeford smallpox hospital in Saco Maine drove 36 patients to flee into the cold with scant clothing as temperatures stayed below zero. A French cook first spotted the blaze at 6:15 am near the kitchen door, started evacuation, and authorities worked to shelter the frostbitten refugees at nearby homes. Medical staff and police aided per routine, with no confirmed deaths and plans to move patients to the White's Wharf auxiliary facility later in the day.
