Fire damages nine floors of Hotel Sherman in Chicago
In Chicago on April 10 a fire sent smoke through nine floors of the Hotel Sherman in the loop. About 200 guests, many in pajamas, evacuated to the lobby as firefighters fought an elevator shaft blaze. Elevator operators spotted the fire early and six telephone operators warned residents above the 15th floor. The incident recalled the LaSalle Hotel fire that killed 61 people.
