FILM /o
Damage in last night's four-alarm fire at
the John E. Quarles Lumber Company in Fort Worth
could go as high as half a million dollars.
That was the estimate given WBAP news today
by H. B. Stuck, President of the lumber firm.
The blaze broke out just before midnight at
the lumber yard at 1801 Park Place on Fort Worth's
south side. Firemen said the blaze broke out in
a lumber warehouse at the south end of the,
complex, which sat alongside the Frisco Railroad
tracks.
Stuck told WBAP reporter Wayne Brown that
firemen) were able to save 70-thousand worth of
lumber stacked in another area. At least four
engine companies remain at the scene today pouring
water on the smouldering ruins of the 70-year-old
firm.
Six two-ton L lumber trucks were alsodestroyed in the flames.
