Fire Rips Newburgh Businesses. 9 Buildings Destroyed
A major fire in Newburgh Tuesday morning destroyed nine buildings along Colden and South Water streets, leaving 16 families homeless and causing about 300000 dollars in damage. The blaze started at 1 10 and was fought until 9 30 with 18 outside companies aiding the Newburgh department. Four firefighters were hospitalized and many others injured as crews battled ice forming from spraying water in subfreezing temps. The fire, believed sparked by a central heating plant at Shapiro Bros confectionery, spread through basements and drew weathered resistance from wind and embers. Fire department manager William McCaw requested help from neighboring towns as volunteers and Red Cross teams aided firefighters with coffee and food. The McQuoid company of Middletown helped prevent spread to the next block by dousing a burning ember across Colden Street.
