Brooklyn, NY Norwegian Hospital Fire, Mar 1910
FIRE CAUSES HOSPITAL PANIC.
Small Blaze Near a Brooklyn Institution Excites 100 Patients.
A small panic was started among the 100 patients of he Norwegian Hospital of Brooklyn last night by a fire in the top floor of a four-story dwelling adjoining, at 4,508 Fourth Avenue, caused by a tablecloth being blown by the wind over a lamp in the dining room of the home of Herman Bowers.
Drs. Gould, Hunter, Fisher, and Carr and the thirty nurses of the hospital calmed the patients, whose fears had been roused by the smoke and flames and the noise of the engine. The fire was confined to the room in which it had started, and was extinguished after it had done $500 damage.
