UNIVERSITY LUTHERAN CHAPEL 315 N. Main — 846-6687 Hubert Beck, Pastor Four Die In New Orleans During Downtown Fire NEW ORLEANS, La. <A>)— Four persons, three of them women who leaped eight stories from a fiery window, lost their lives Wednesday when fire raced through the top two floors of a 16-story downtown building, offi cials said. The early afternoon fire swept through the upper stories of the Rault Center building, the top floor of which housed a private club that witnesses said was nearly filled at the time. Most of the patrons of the Lamplighter Club, which seats 100, were able to escape to lower floors and safety before flames blocked their paths, according to a survivor, attorney William Mor gan. However, fire officials con tinued to search the upper floors of the five-year-old building for other possible victims. At least eight persons, their downward escape apparently blocked by the fire, smashed their way to the building’s roof and were rescued by helicopters, ac cording to another survivor, busi nessman Cal Grevember. The last two were lifted off just before the roof itself erupted into flame. Five women, some with clothing aflame, sought to save themselves with desperate leaps to the roof of an adjoining building eight floors below. Three of them died, officials said, but two survived, their falls cushioned by rescuers who linked arms and tried to catch the women as they landed. “We at least broke their fall,” said one rescuer, Matthew John son. “They landed on top of us, but they’re living—the ones we caught.” The two women wex’e among five persons hospitalized in critical condition. The nature of their injuries was not immediately known. The body of a fourth person, an unidentified man, was found in a 14th-floor stairwell, fire of ficials said. Police had reported earlier that all of the four deaths occurred as persons leaped from the burning building. Cause of the blaze was not known, but officials said they were investigating the possibility the fire may have been related to one earlier in the day which was confined to a dressing room and extinguished quickly. Asked about the possibility of arson, New Orleans Fire Chief Louis San Salvador said, “Any time you have fires in two remote areas of the same building, five hours apart, there is such a possi bility. However, we may find some other reason. The two fires always could be coincidence.
