-Four Firemen Buried
In Debris Are Saved
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Four fire.
men were extricated by comrades
early today after being buried under
tons of debris when the third floor
of a four-story loft building in New
York's financial district collapsed
during fire.
Last to be rescued was Fire 1t.
Thomas Rice, who was entombed
for more than an hour. The others
were Paul Miller, Edward Dugan
and Gustave johnson.
All suffered bruises, lacerations
and burns.
The fire started on the third floor
of the structure at 131 John street,
and spread swiftly to the fourth and
second floors.
Fire officials expressed belief
water poured into the building
caused the third floor to crumple.
Upper floors of the building were
occupied by a die-casting company
and cabinetmaking firm.
Cause of the blaze was not deter
mined Immediately.
On New Year eve, four firemen
were trapped when the fourth, third
and second floors of loft building
on the edge Of Greenwich Village
collapsed during fire. In that
case, too, fire officials expressed be-
lief the collapse was due to the
weight of accumulated water.
Two of those men died later as
the result of injuries.
