Local Woman’s Mother Escapes
Disastrous Tacoma Apartment Fire
Mrs. W. F. Cook, employed!
here- at the Northland Photo
company, has received word
that her mother escaped unin
jured in the disastrous apart
ment house fire last week in
Tacoma, Wash., that cost 14
lives and injured several otlnrs.
The blaze apparently started
with an explosion in a candy
factory in the basement of the
masonry covered flame Maefaii
43-apartment building Many
were trapped in the rear of the
4-story building and others es
caped by jumping out of win
dows, using fire escapes or jump
ing mto nets.
Mrs. Cook’s mother, Mrs.
Ethel Shumake, wrote that she
was awakened about 2 am by
the noise and on opening the
door of her apartment was met
by dense smoke. She tried to
call the fire department but the
phone did not work so she put
on a coat, grabbed her purse and
glasses and crawled through a
window onto a roof over a side
walk. She and another woman
screamed for help and a man
came along who told them to
jump to the cement sidewalk
but both decided against it.
On the arrival of the fire de
partment they were taken off the
roof safely and Mrs Shumake said
it was sometime before she real
ized she was standing in the
snow in her bare feer.
It took the firemen 4 hours to
get the blaze under control. The
building was occupied by war
workers and the wives and child
ren of servicemen.
