FOUR BLAzES KEEP
 FIREMEN ON JUMP
Nurses Calm Hospital Patients
 in Brooklyn Fire

 Shortly after the fire apparatus had arrived, the blaze brust through the roof Of the buildins showering glass and debris into the street, injuring Fireman John E. Seger, who was treated at the hos pital, and threatening the 400 peo- pie who crowded the street.
 The flremen, who had just return cd from a s3,000 blaze at 1769 Pit kin avenue and a previous one at 547 Livonia avenue which caused s4,000 damage, were so tired that they had to work in shifts in quell- ing the St. Marks avenue blaze. The damage to the building was estimated at s4,000.
