Resort Blaze Kills Policeman as Fire Destroys Buildings
A devastating resort fire in Saratoga Springs, New York killed Patrolman Frederick Petit and injured six firefighters. The blaze, likely sparked by a defective oil burner, destroyed seven business structures including Starbuck's and Woolworth's, left 25 homeless, and prompted a boil-water advisory for over 15,000 residents. Firefighters from 10 neighboring communities battled the flames through a freezing night, with Public Safety Commissioner Harry A. Burke noting the district might have been lost without aid.
