Description

This is a westerly view of the early morning warehouse fire across the railroad tracks apparent in foreground. Men can be seen hurrying from left toward the fire. A tent is apparent at left. The fire has progressed to where most of the smoke is no longer dark and the structure is reduced to a skeleton of its timbers viewed against the light of the fire. Utility poles are apparent in middle ground.
