Laramie Fire Destroys Block in 4-Hour Blaze
A $1,500,000 fire in Laramie Wyoming raged for four hours against 45 mph winds, gutting nearly two blocks of the business district and threatening a gas and oil garage until crews from four towns confined it to an adjoining building. No casualties were reported. The Red Cross opened disaster HQ for 20 families burned out. National guardsmen patrolled to prevent looting as about 250 firefighters battled the blaze. Fire chief Blake Fanning said the fire is under control with damage possibly exceeding a million and a half dollars. Police officer Vern Trabing discovered the glow at the W. H. Holliday structure and reported the four-story building’s rear blew out and walls collapsed onto the Mahise Baker Motor Co. and adjacent shops.
