GAS OVERCOMES
NINE FIREMEN
Injured Men Are Treated at
Hospital and Recover From
the Effects of the Fumes
EXPLOSION is AVERTED
Market Street Blaze and
Melting Gaspipes Make
a Dangerous Combination

Fire and illuminating gas made a
forniida Bile combination for the Fire
Department to fight last night in the
basement of the premises situated at
1866 to 1870 Market street, owned by
Judge Robbins of Oakland. Before the
flames were under control and the flow
of escaping gas checked nine firemen,
including Battalion Chief Waters, were
overcome by the fumes of the deadly
monoXide.
The surgeon, William Stevens, at the
Central Emergency Hospital was kept
busy for some time administering to
the brave f1remen, who were conveyed
to that institution in the ambulance.
All recovered sufficiently to be able to
return to their quarters. 1t is regarded
as miraculous that an explosion did not
occur.
Smoke was seen issuing from the
basement of the building about 1890
o'clock An alarm was Immediately
sounded from box rs and the apparatus
was soon on the scene. The fire was
burning briskly in the basement and
several lines were soon playing on the
flames. The lead connections to sew
eral gas meters were melted and then
trouble began for the firemen. Captain
Thomas Murphy was the first to sue
cumb to the poisonous fumes and was
carried to the sidewalk The ambu-
lance conveyed him TO the hospital.
Battalion Chief Waters was also as
sisted out of the basement in a weak
ened condition. Frank Jordan. Frank
Carew, George Mclaughlin and Daniel
Toomey of truck 8; Lieutenant Mike
Harmon of chemical 4. Operator Bert
Butler and Harry Dicks of the fire
patrol were also taken to the hospital
for treatment
The basement was used for storage
purposes by the Sunset Cycle Com
pany Of 1866 Market street The pro-
prietors, Markowitz & Zehinsky, claim
to have $4,000 worth of rubber goods
in the basement and carry $4,000 in
surance. Their stock in the store was
mostly damaged by smoke and the
damage to the goods in the basement
could not be ascertained. The fur
nishing goods store of j. Marymont at
1870 Market street was mainly dam
aged by smoke and is fully insured
The upper portion of the building is
occupied by the Hotel Newton, con-
Quoted by Mrs. Newton. She estimates
her damage at $1,000, covered by in
surance. The damage TO the building
/ will not exceed $1,000.
NJ E. coglllin, who conducts a sa-
loon at 1874 Market street, claims to
have had $1,000 worth of f1st0ck. stored
in the basement. but was unable to es-
timate his loss.
The firemen attribute the origin of
the fire to spontaneous combustion.
