to withstand the terrific fumes cast
off by the burning celluloid films.
The fumes were declared to be al-
most unbearable and it was by sheer
nerve on the part of the firemen that
they fought their way to the back
end of the building to where the
flames were leaping some twelve or
fifteen feet high. They fought their
way back with the chemical hose and
soon had the blaze extinguished, but
this did not lessen the fumes, which
continued until the fire was finally
extinguished.
All of the firemen were made ex-
tremely sick by the gaseous fumes and
several of them staggered out of the
building, vomiting as they came, after
the fire was extinguished. One fire-
man fell on the floor of the booth and
lay there for several minutes before
he was able to make his way to the
pure air outside.
Spectators were loud in their praise
of the firemen, declaring that it took
really heroic work to fight their way
into the fume laden air, thereby sav-
ing the whole building, with the ex-
ception of the both.
It is estimated that the damage
done by the fire will amount to be-
tween $2,500 and $3,000. It is under-
stood that there was no insurance to
cover this, as the insurance companies
will not carry insurance on films and
apparatus. The building, with the ex-
ception of the machine booth, was
insured.
