Fires Ravage Grand Street Lofts. Two-alarm Blaze Wrecks Parts
Two fires on Grand Street inflicted about 215 dollars in damage. A seven story loft and store building at Nos 38 and 260 housed dressmakers on the second floor at No 20 when the blaze broke out. A jewelry shop on the ground floor was evacuated by clerks carrying valuables to the street. A three-alarm fire at Nos 213 and 215 Grand Street caused nearly 200000 dollars in damage and forced hundreds to flee. Water pressure failures and a blown main valve hindered efforts, while Chief Croker criticized the new system. Fire victims climbed to roofs using ladders and escapes, and Samuel Kohn aided panicked workers with improvised toboggans.
