When members of the fraternity dis- covered the blaze, they began the task of removing effects from the house, but the rapid spread of the flames prevented salvage work in the study rooms on the second floor. Aided by members of No. 4 of the Ithaca Fire Department, the fraternity men and other students carried out furni- ture and other fraternity belongings. The desire of the crowd to be of assis- tance in the battle against the flames really hampered the firemen. Parked cars inter- ferred with efforts to lay hose lines. Furni- ture piled in the driveway prevented the entrance of fire trucks to the east side of the house. Three firemen were injured during the fire, and fire companies were kept on duty until 2.30 the next morning.
