Freight Car Fire Triggers Massive Shell Explosion Scene
In Springfield Massachusetts a freight car laden with 105 mm shells caught fire at Frisco yards, igniting hundreds of shells over a wide area. One house was destroyed and another badly damaged while a single injury was reported. Two Frisco wardmen, Gerald Summons and Sam Gaslon, helped avert a worse disaster by moving the burning car away from adjacent cars as a switch engine pushed the train to safety. The blaze, likely caused by a hot box, burned out by midnight after about 40 to 5,000 shells exploded and streets within a mile were blocked. The ammunition originated from Parsons Kansas.
