Fire Suppression Battle Over Naphtha Substitute Fire
Firemen fought flames for hours when 100 to 200 gallons of burning naphtha substitute escaped from an open valve at the Marietta Paint company and flowed into storm sewers. Ten year old Junior Morgan suffered severe burns from explosions that blew manhole covers as Captain R D Church was burned on the hands while nearby witnesses aided Morgan. Fire raged along English street where officials said the substance overflowed into ditches and rivers of fire ran through open drains.
