Fire Chiefs Seyferlich and Croker Rise Amid Fire News
Fire Marshal Seyferlich of Chicago becomes head of the city's fire department after the death of Fire Marshal Horan at the Stockyards blaze. He has thirty three years in service and is famed for sleeping at engine houses and rising through the ranks. New York Fire Chief Edward F. Croker, nephew of Tammany leader Richard Croker, faces scrutiny over sprinkler resistance but advocates mandatory installation and a new fireman training school.
