Stubborn Blaze Lurks in Ruined Furnas Factory Fire
A massive blaze destroyed the Furnas office and bank furniture factory at 1005 and 1015 East Eleventh Street, with losses estimated between 30 000 and 40 000 dollars. About 5 000 spectators watched as firefighters battled the flames through the night, two carpenters narrowly escaped, and the building, a twenty five year mill, burned amid a north east gale. Insurance coverage reached 32 000 dollars, and salvage focused on lumber stocks. Fire began in the dipping room when an electric wire contacted a varnish tank.
