Fire devours Arbuckle cooperage plant in Brooklyn tragedy
A massive blaze at the Arbuckle Brothers cooperage in the riverfront district of Brooklyn killed three firefighters and injured three others, with damages estimated at 400000. Firemen Michael O'Toole and Thomas Jevries perished, along with Battalion Chief Thomas Coppinger, as crews battled the wall of flame. Fire spread threatened nearby buildings and the riverfront, and many residents were evacuated as water from boats and the fireboats aided suppression. The fire, which began in the cooperage, caused smoke and heat that hampered efforts throughout the morning, with one witness noting a ribbon of smoke seen from upper floors. The tragedy marked a dark morning for the city’s fire department.
