| Description: | Fire! 25,000 Homeless After $25,000,000 Blaze Fanned by a sixty-hour wind, flames roar through this industrial town in Quebec. Thousands are homeless and the damage runs to $20,000,000, with 350 buildings leveled in the wake of the raging inferno. Spectacular scenes from the stricken heart of a stricken city. One sentence of audio, "A grim monument to fire." On May 6, 1950, Rimouski was the theater of a terrible fire ... known as "la nuit rouge" (French for the red night ...) | |
