Hartford 1944 Circus Fire Ends Six Minute Matinee
In six minutes the Hartford 1944 circus matinee collapsed as a tent fire killed and wounded many. Relief workers from Civil Defense Red Cross and Bradley Field rushed in but could not save 150 victims. Identification proved nearly impossible as charred remains and flimsy garments hindered recognition. The bandleader and manager spoke of an end to the era as the cause remained a mystery. Four years later the memory lingered.
