Hot Time at Quincy

A small fire in Old Quincy at 11:30 last night forced almost 100 residents out into the 25-degree night.

The fire broke out in a fourth floor hall of D-entry, when cinders taken from a fireplace ignited a pile of newspapers. Jennifer Mohr '78 and Jennifer Kiratli '78, occupants of the room the ashes came from, said last night that they had soaked the embers with water and left them for two hours before disposing of them.

Mohr and Kiratli extinguished the fire before the firemen arrived.
