Million Dollar Fire Hits Quaker City Quarry Works
A devastating blaze swept through Philadelphia on March 1. Powers & Weightman chemical works, the nation’s largest, burned completely with losses expected over a million dollars. Fire units struggled to respond due to wind and distant alarms amid multiple fires, including a woolmill and Coon Bros. & Co. damages. Firefighters battled through cold as explosions of fusible oil sent flames through streets. Nearby buildings suffered roof and wall damage, and insurance coverage tops $350,000 with total losses likely far higher.
