Bodies of Firemen Found in Parker Building Ruins
The bodies of George O'Connor of Engine Company 72 and John Fallon of Fire Patrol 3 were recovered from Parker Building debris after a blaze a week earlier. Fallon was burned and mutilated, likely killed by heavy beams. O'Connor died quickly, apparently from a falling beam. Building owner George R. Wallace took possession as tenants surveyed damage. The Kay-Scheerer globe with three goldfish survived, fed by Battalion Chief Shay. Appraisers estimate weeks to determine losses. Merchants' Association urges building code lessons, noting improvements could have confined the fire to the sixth floor. Hose durability and handling drew criticism from manufacturers, who urged inspection and reel-based systems.
