DISASTROUS FIRE in
ELKTON BUSINESS CENTER
Seven Buildings Destroyed--l3 Fire Companies
Battle With Raging Flames

someone who was burning waste In
the rear OF the building.
When Elkton firemen arrived al
the scene the flames had spread
through this three-atory frame stru-
ure and were beginning to eat into
the City Cleaners Building next
door. In few moments an explosion
in the cleaning fluid scattered the
flames in all diredtions
Elkton firemen then realized their
efforts to stop the confiagration
would be futile and they sent in
emergency calls for every available
fire company in the section.
Within a half-hour other firmen
began arriving from the nearby
towns and within an hour several
hundred volunteer firemen were la
boring with the flames.
Among those assisting were: New
ark, Middletown, Odessa, Christiana,
Holloway Terrace, Delaware; Havre
de Grace, Perryville, North East,
Rising Sun, and Chesapeake City,
Nd. and Oxford, Pa, Three emer-
gency companies were sent from the
Trimph Explosives Company, the
National Fireworks Comany and the
National Magnesium Company.
Shortly after the first out-of-town
firemen arrived the drain on the wa
ter began to exhaust the town system
and engines were taken ito the Big
Elk Creek, about 500 yards in the
rear of the burning buildings, to
pump water. During the height Of
the <fire 13 engines were throwing
water on the flames.
ALI Of THE destroyed buildings
were joined tgether and the flames
were only stopped when they reached
an alley on both ends Of the section
destroyed. Store fronts on the oppo-
site side of the street were scorched
and iiremen kept steady stream Of
water on these establishments to- pre-
vent them from becoming ignitedI
All but two of the destroyed build
in&s were of frame construction.
The flames were announced as un-
der control at g.3o D. M, but many
OF the firemen were forced to remain
to wet down the spots where flames
persisted in springing up again.
The Elhton Branch Of the Red
Cross opened the Methodist Church
House to serve coffee and sandwiches
to the firemen and police. The Wom-
ems Auxiliary performed the same
snrvica in the fire hall
