Order-Building Strike Ends Pool Hall Operator Gives Further Details Of $6,000 Deal Today By Ladder as Rooms Blaze Three Brooklyn children and their grandfather escaped death yesterday when they were saved by firemen in a spectacular fire-ladder rescue during a blaze in their top-floor apartment at 1121 Fulton St. The four were trapped by dense smoke from a one-alarm fire which started in the basement of the three-story building. Firefighters responding to the alarm fought their way through the smoke, entered the apartment and carried the three children down a fire ladder. They were Leroy Nemmas, his sister, Clara May, 2, and a brother, Henry, 3. The firemen then returned and assisted the grandfather, Rudolph Hines, 55, down the ladder from the smoke-filled apartment.

None of the four required medical treatment. While this blaze was being battled, a fire broke out in a three-story brick building around the corner at 45 Claver Place. Arson was suspected at first, but an investigation by the Fire Marshal's office proved that neither fire was of suspicious origin. feet from his home.
