Fire at Garden State Park track kills guard, injures many
Fire ripped through the packed Garden State Park wood grandstand and clubhouse in Cherry Hill New Jersey injuring at least 15 people. Fire Chief John McWilliams later died in hospital of a heart attack as authorities feared possible victims trapped amid WWII era building materials and strong winds. The blaze began in second floor offices during the sixth race as 10 000 fans watched. Crews and detectives secured the scene while noting substantial insurance coverage of 21 million dollars.
