HARD FIRE FIGHT
 AT PROVIDENCE
Water Front Threatened To=day-Seven Below
 Zero at Time

Providence, R. l., Feb. 9.-UP) -Ice-coated firemen, working 1T relays in 7-below-zero weather battled for more than an hour to- day, handicapped by frozen lines before they controlled wind. spanked blaze which for time menaced the Providence water front.
 More than 35 firefghters requir- ed treatment for frostbite. Doctors from Rhode Island hospital estab- lished a relief station at the scene so weather victims could be given prompt care. Two firemen suffered from immersion when they tumbled off a dock
 The fire broke out along the 300- foot Curran and Burton Coal com pany wharf at Harbor Junction. To fight it. firemen took positions on the ice of the Providence river. Only a sudden switch of the wind probably saved a large section of the waterfront.
 The British collier Baron Nairn. unloading at the wharf, was locked in by ice and tugs sought in vain to drag her from the blockade into open water. A burning, oil-soaked rag, thrown inadvertently from that vessel, was believed to have started the fire, which caused dam- age estimated at about $25,00O.
