Lamplight Blaze Displaces Family in Pembroke Street Fire
A kerosene lamp exploded in the flat of Louis Domovick at 1233 Pembroke street last night. The fire, fueled by oil, trapped seven children and their widowed father, forcing them to flee through a barred door as smoke spread. The blaze reached the roof before alarms could sound, endangering nearby properties and destroying clothing and furniture. The building, owned by Frank Miller Lumber Co., incurred losses under $600. The shoe maker Joseph Endaco and his family were also displaced. The incident follows prior arson at the contractor Andrew Grive’s shop nearby.
