Halsted spread to five other buildings in the block before firemen got it under control. The fire apparently spread thru a system of heating and air conditioning ducts after it appeared for a while that the blaze was subdued, said First Division Fire Marshal Raymond Werner. Fireman Is Hurt Fireman Glen Keyes was treated in St Bernard's hospital for injuries to his legs. Equipment at the fire included five snorkels and the city's new "Mighty Moe" pumper.

Electricity in the block was cut off when heat from the fire ignited utility poles. The blaze was discovered about 10 p. m. and was brought under control at 12:20 a. m.

The damaged buildings included the Quality Dinette company, 6200; Martin's Mens and Boys Wear store? 6204; and buildings at 6202, 6206, and 6210 Halsted st Struck on Head A second fireman, Daniel Toth, was injured when a piece of debris struck him on the head when the roof at 6208 S. Halsted st. collapsed. He was taken to St. Bernard's hospital.

Werner estimated the cost of the damage at $35,000. A garage at the rear of 6208 Halsted st. and an auto were also damaged, he said. A 3-11 fire caused $12,500 damage last night to a block-long group of buildings, of the John Berg Manufacturing company, 5319 La Salle st, a ladder manufacturer. Fourth Division Fire Marshal Thomas Sullivan said the fire started in a small wooden tool shed and spread to the four-story brick plant and a two-story warehouse.

The first alarm was turned in automatically by a sprinkler system. Extra alarms were called because of the danger to a nearby railroad yard, Sullivan said. A rear exit in a west side building in which five persons perished in a fire had been nailed shut, building department inspectors said yesterday. Emmett Duffy, assistant to Sidney Smith, city building commissioner, said that Joseph Lavin, the owner of the building, would be cited for illegally converting the apartment at 900 W. 14th st into two flats and for not providing two exits for the tenants.
