Fire Sweeps Through Wooden Hotel, Exposures Saved With Mutual Aid
A national landmark, 100-year-old, wood frame hotel was destroyed by the worst fire in Cape May, N.J., since 1878. However, through the implementation of a pre-fire plan for the four-story Windsor Hotel, the Cape May Volunteer Fire Department kept the fire from extending to a house 5 feet from the hotel and then possibly to the rest of the block of Victorian homes.
