ladders thrown
windows.
Mrs. Thomas
age, lives with
second floor. She was alone when she
heard shouts of “Fire” .and when she
opened the door leading into the hall
way the smoke drove her back into
her room. She groped her way to the
fire escape, which opens off a back
passage near her room. The wooden
steps started to give beneath her
weight and she was forced to re-fen-
ter her room and wait until firemen
reached her and assisted, her to safe
ty. “I was^so frightened I left every
thing behind — even my false teeth,”
she laughed afterwards. “I had ju^t
got up when I smelled smoke. I op
ened my door and it just poured into
my room and I could hardly breathe.
Then I tried to get out by the fire
•escape, but it wasn’t safe. This is my
first experience -with a fire and I hope
it will be my last.”
