| Description: | See also catalog# 501280 for 1st part of this story. Intertitle reads: "... in Boston - under arctic conditions - all available apparatus was mobilized to fight conflagration that imperiled the City!" Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America. American firemen moving hoses around the base of a building. There is ice and snow on the ground. Closer shot shows two firemen working on a pump, which is covered with icicles. Quick shot of different angle of the pump. Shot of building with smoke coming out of one of the windows. Small icicles can be seen hanging from wires in the foreground. It is obviously very cold. At the base of the building a team of firemen are spraying a hose onto the building. The entrance to the building has 'Berkeley Hall' over it. Next door is a pharmacy or drug store. Tilt up to show the water hitting the building. | |
