Chicago Fire Traps Kill and Injure Dozens at Corn Products Plant
A massive blaze tore through six buildings of the Corn Products Company plant in Chicago, killing at least twelve men and wounding many as a fierce wind spread flames across the riverfront. The fire began in the corn crushing and feed drying department, threatening property valued in the millions and drawing thirty four workers to peril on the upper floors. Firefighting crews connected a sprinkler system to river flames, saving a thirteen story glucose plant nearby from total destruction. Spectators crowded elevated platforms as flames lit the city sky for hours, with an estimated loss approaching one million dollars if the second building failed.
