Hewitt steamed over from Brooklyn and aided the land engines in flooding it. The fire was at its helght at noon when thousands of factory employees swarmed out to the streets for lunch- eon and It was necessary to cail the reserves of the East 35th Street sta- tion to establish fire lines. The fire started in the boiler room of the engine house of the Weeks plant, a one-story: structure, on the Rist Street frontage. It was discov- ered by Patrolman O’Hara, who turned in an alarm and aided the em- ployees of the kindling wood factory in rescuing five fear-crazed horses from a stable in the middle of the yard. The Weeks plant, stored with great piles of kindling wood, backs up against the Buckhout lumber yard in East 30th Street, and adjoins the big dyeing and cleaning establishment of the Knickerbocker Company. About 100 girls fled in panic from the Knick- erbocker plant early in the fire and refused to go back until they were as- sured that the danger was over.
