Melissa in the Morning: 50 years Later

50 years ago, a deadly fire occurred at a nightclub right on the Greenwich line. The 1974 arson fire at Gulliver’s in Port Chester, New York claimed the lives of 24 people and injured 32 others, including some firefighters. We looked back at the anniversary of the case with Dennis O’Connell. His brother was one of the patrons who died in the blaze. Sandy Clarkson was a first responder the night of that fire and shares what he remembers about the scene and aftermath.
