Fire Wipes Out Block In Philadelphia Paper Plant Loss
A late Friday fire swept an entire city block in Philadelphia including a paper box plant once linked to Irv Kosloff, owner of a local pro basketball team. No injuries were reported as the first alarm sounded at 8 47 pm and more than 100 residents were evacuated. By midnight, officials said the blaze was under control though walls threatened to collapse as debris lined the block and traffic backed up for hours. The affected buildings were bought by Kosloff’s Bike Bike Corp in 1956 for about 350 000 dollars, and the firm also owned the Philadelphia Flyers basketball team. The cause remains undetermined.
