Fire Rages Through Armenian Lodging House
At Arnocia, Milford, six people died and twenty five were injured when a fiery blaze trapped about eighty residents in a four to five story lodging house. Fire started in the ground floor hall, forcing occupants to leap from windows as stairways failed. The building, once a shoe factory over fifty years old, housed oily contents. Firemen faced extreme heat as a chaotic scene unfolded with foreigners attempting to escape. Police and rescue crews transported twenty to hospital with burns or injuries.
