April 21, 1963....We will Remember.. On this day, in Ilion, our lives all changed significantly...... Firefighters responded to the blaze on that morning. There was extensive damage to the building because of the fire, including two dozen classrooms, the auditorium, the girls gymnasium, and offices. The fire originated in an air shaft on the third floor, with flames spreading to the roof because of high winds. Burton Seymour died fighting the fire, as he fell from the second-floor roof into the courtyard below. Volunteer fireman Robert Day was also seriously injured in the fall. Archive reports say Seymour and Day had been running hose lines over the building. wktv/home/related/Ceremony-for-Burt-Seymour-204014471.html wktv/news/local/Ilion-remembering-50th-anniversary-of-high-school-fire-204004061.html#ixzz3D02fTegI We will always Remember..
