Dense black smoke covered the west end as firemen fought the flames with a partly fired kerosene barrel, gasoline and polarine nearby. About 35,000 gallons of oil in adjacent tanks posed a danger of overheating, with steam rising from water cooling. Wind direction helped divert the heat away from town.
