| Description: | A spectacular five-alarm blaze races through a downtown Toledo paint company building, doing an estimated $50,000 damage. The blaze started from a midnight explosion, heard by a passing patrol car. A three hour, pre-dawn battle by firefighters prevented a major disaster, since a four story paint storage building is adjacent. Establishing shot - Nighttime; streams of water from the fire hoses as flames shoot high into the black sky. MS - The silhouettes of firemen and fire-trucks with their headlights still on, smoke and fire billowing into the dark skies. MS - Buildings totally engulfed by flames, flames shooting as high as 100 feet into the sky. | |
