Origin of Bedford Street blaze traced to ignited switchboard
The fire started in a Time Company switchboard twelve minutes before 7 in a Bedford Street style building, likely burning for half an hour before discovery. Alarm from Box 52 at 5 20 triggered rapid flame eruption as doors broke, confirming a long accumulating fire. prior testimony supports this origin as most reasonable.
