Of people We're attracted by the clouds
Of smoke and flames pouring from the
windows near the roof of the southeast
wing. and it was only by the hard work
Of the fremen that the damage was
confined to as small damage as there
was.
Some Of the watchers censured the
fire departments because of their slow
ness in getting water. but it was learn
cd later that one of the jackets on a
water hydrant was found broken and il
was found necessary to change the hose
TO another. This was the reason for the
delay.
Most of the damage was done tol the
rooms on the top floor and to the roof.
The damage done by water was consjd-
erable as it dripped down through the
walls as far as the first floor. This
was unavoidable however, as the fro
men were forced TO uss great deal or
water. They worked for nearly an
hour and n half before the blaze was
extinguished.
