Fifteen Die As Hartford Hospital Fire Rages Through
A ninth floor trash chute fire at Hartford Hospital Friday killed 15 people and trapped over 100. Six patients, five visitors, and four staff members died. The blaze, smoke, and explosions forced evacuations from floors eight and above as rescuers battled flames. An investigation began with uncertain causes, including cigarette or gas possibilities. Dr Norman Hedenstad died trying to close a door to halt the spread. The hospital, a $10 million, 13 story building, faced a swift, crowded crisis.
