Two drivers caught Molina after he ran screaming from the build- ing, knocked him to the floor and rolled him in coats and sweaters ‘to smother the flames. He was reported in grave condi- tion with 90 per cent of his body burned. Eight firemen narrowly escaped injury when the roof collapsed sec- onds after they had pulled out of the flaming structure. District Fire Chief W. F. El- dredge said “The fire was coming under control when the roof fell in and then we had it all to do over.” Dispatcher George Beacker said between $3,000 and $4,000 in a cash drawer was destroyed and week- end receipts, locked in a safe, “may be gone too.” The fire was believed to have started when a cigarette or some other spark ignited the gasoline. Several automobiles on the ground floor were burned. Automobiles and tires on the second floor of the building, only three blocks from the center of jthe city, also were damaged. Loss was set at about $50,000. The Weatherman Say Key West and Vicinity: Clearing, cooler and windy this afternoon; fair and colder tonight, Fair and continued rather cold and windy; Tuesday.
