FATAL FIRE AT MIDDLESBROUGH.
HEROIC CONDUCT OF A POLICE INSPECTOR.
At an early hour yesterday morning a fire broke out in the house of a seaman named Wm. Joel, at 10, Bottomley-street, Middlesbrough. It appears that on going into his bed-room on Wednesday night Joel struck a match, amd it is supposed that he must have dropped a spark, for on awakening from his sleep an hour or two afterwards he found the room full of smoke. He got out of bed, and endeavoured to escape, but was overcome. Fortunately, his daughter, who lives in the adjoining house, became aware that her father's house was on fire, and immediately sent a messenger to the Central Police Station. Inspector Knowlson, who was on duty at the office, rang the fire alarm, and the Brigade prompty responded, and soon afterwards extinguished the fire. Meanwhile the Inspector had proceeded to the scene of the outbreak, and noticed a volume of smoke issuing from the bed-room of Joel. A hasty glance showed the Inspector that the task of entering the room would be one of the greatest difficulty and personal danger. Without a moment's delay, however, he folded a handkerchief over his mouth and nose and crawled into the room, but failed to find Joel in bed. He then groped about the room, and came accross the body on the floor, and dragged it out. Here Sergt. Raisbeck and others took charge of the body, and conveyed it into the adjoining house. Inspector Knowlson and Mr R. B. Smith (son of Councillor Smith) at once applied the methods of instruction given them by the St. John Ambulance Association for restoring respiration. After some considerable time their efforts were successful. Dr. Scanlon, who came to the house at the request of friends, took charge of the case. Enquiries yesterday afternoon showed that Joel was in such a precarious condition from the effects of suffocation that little or no hope was entertained of his life being saved. Joel, however, was so far revived as to be able to give an account of how the fire must have originated. Dr. Scanlon was assiduous in his attention to Joel, and employed every possible means that medical skill could suggest for the saving of his life. However, as the doctor had anticipated from the first, the shock to the old man's system had been too severe to allow of his overcoming the effects of suffocation. Death took place at five o'clock this morning, the doctor certifying that it was due to conjestion of the lungs consequent upon the effects of suffocation produced by the inhalation of smoke. The necessity of an enquiry into the circumstances of the death is thus happily obviated, and friends of the deceased spared unneccessary pain.
