Former Assistant Fire Chief Samuel Buzine, now on the retired list, was seriously injured yesterday afternoon when he fell from the roof of his home at 765 Spruce street, Camden. He received severe lacerations and contusions of the head and face, broke two ribs and was badly shaken up. Despite his advanced years, he is sprightly and he determined to clean off the snow from his roof. It was while thus employed that he slipped and fell. Known to his former subordinates as "Daddy," the septuagenarian is a familiar figure throughout Camden.
