Two fires on Grand Street yesterday caused about 215000 dollars in damage. A seven story brick loft at Nos 8 and 260 housed 22 dressmakers on the second floor of No 26 when the blaze broke out, with one woman, Mrs Celia Whitesner, injured after a fall. At Nos 213 and 215 a six story loft fire led to evacuations and a near 200000 dollar loss, hampered by a failed high pressure water system and a valve blowout. Chief Croker criticized the system as firefighters rescued hundreds and improvised escape routes, including ladders and a makeshift toboggan built from boards.
