One Thousand Minte Homeless In Texas Town
A Texas town near Fort Worth with about two thousand residents was left in ruins after a daytime fire destroyed seven of eight business blocks and 200 homes. About 1,000 people were homeless and property losses were estimated between 1.5 and 2 million dollars, with the higher figure considered more likely. The blaze burned until midnight, fed by high winds, exhausting the water supply and delaying control. Additional fire apparatus arrived from nearby towns as relief efforts began.
