Fire destroys factories in city block chaos hits wholesale district
A late night blaze at the Haven Geddes and Selig Pur Co. warehouses near Jackson Place and Met/ldian streets caused about 100000 dollars in damage. Water pressure failed, hampering efforts as the fire raged four hours and an elevator shaft ignited late. Fire officials, aided by reserve engines and a water tower, battled dense smoke and heat. The origin is suspected to involve a coal furnace or an overlooked lighter in the basement. Georgia You and Clarence Wild alerted crews, and Chief Coats coordinated the response.
