Four Big FiresHit
Anchorage AiSea'
InJJnder 48 Hours
ANCHORAGE, UPP-The fobrth
major fire in less than' 49 Hotirs
Struck the greater AncHoragfe hfea
late Monday and cfaifned the life
Of a 4-month-old baby girl.
The infant daughter , of Mrs.
Audrey Smith of Spenard died in
their home in the short interval
it took the mother to go to a near
by restaurant to make a telephone
call.
Mrs. Smith was looking out the
window of the restaurant less
than two blocks away waiting for
her call to go through, when she
saw flames shoot out windows of
the one-story frame house.
The mother raced back to the
home only to be met by flames
and blinding smoke. Unable to
enter the door, she broke in a
window with her fists, suffering
cuts on both hands, but was final
ly pulled away by neighbors.
The woman, screaming “Save
my baby! Save my baby,” was
taken to a hospital for treatment
of her badly cut hands.
Spenard volunteer firemen, in
the meantime, donned oxygen
masks and tried to enter the home
but were unable to reach the
child. They were slowed by zero
weather and recurrent water
shortage.
Three other major fires which
caused damages estimated at well
over $100,000 were fought in zero
temperatures by Anchorage area
firemen over the weeknd.
Lost in the fires were the Fire
Lake Lodge at Mile 17 on the
Glenn Highway, with, damage es
timated at more than $50,000; the
James Burke & Co. maintenance
garage in Anchorage, with loss es
timated at $40,000, and a two-stall
garage in Mountain View.
One of the oldest landmarks in
the area, the Fire Lake Lodge was
built in 1935 before the highway
was constructed.
Steve Luke and Rebecca Kar
mun were married Saturday by
the U.S, Commissioner. Steve has
been with the U.S. Smelting Co.
and Rebecca is from Deering, Al
aska.
