Huge Yonkers fire, June 1976

2 posts in this topic

After many fruitless searches to find archives of this massive blaze, I finally found a great website that has a

lot of the old Herald Statesman issues on PDF. Probably has a lot of other papers too.

Fulton History

As I mentioned in a previous thread, this was the biggest fire I ever personally witnessed in my life, and I saw it from the first alarm arrival, when there was nothing to see, right up to the full general alarm. I was on my way home from school, and what kid wouldn't stop and look when an Engine and Ladder stop on the street? This thing got going really fast, and just ran away from the firefighters. I attached the files with the full article from the Herald Statesman.
