5 Alarm Blaze in New York Under Control
A weekend fire destroyed the old John Wanamaker department store building and disrupted subway service in Manhattan. The blaze caused 216 firefighters to seek treatment, with 20 hospitalized, and closed the IRT Lexington Ave line while BMT trains ran on three of four tracks. Officials suspect a torch sparked the fire, which smoldered from the basement and renewed to the roof, now said to be under control at 1 a.m.
