Fire destroying Tony Brunk building and nearby shops
A March Wichita fire tore through the Tony Brunk building on Water and First streets, touching a three story block occupied by A Cannon & Co and Wichita Wholesale Grocery. Firefighters saved office furniture and one car of sugar, but two other cars burned as winds fanned the flames. The disaster prompts questions about water pressure and alarm timing as insurers assess widespread damage to multiple properties and businesses.
