| Description: | Light in imagery, blurry images Whipped by a high wind, the blaze, originating in an abandoned stable, sweeps through a section of this village of 2,000 inhabitants and threatens complete destruction of the community before 32 fire companies from surrounding counties get the flames under control. Dozens of firemen suffer from smoke suffocation, three persons are injured, and damage estimated at $500,000 is the toll of the disaster. Martial law prevails as relief agencies attempt to provide for the sufferers. | |
