| Description: | U-I Cameraman Dies Filming Granary Fire. A 10-story granary blazes out of control through the night. As half the fire department battles to stop it from spreading, the story is covered by Universal newsreel cameraman Floyd Traynham (not shown), whose collapse and death ends a 25-year career. Night scenes of the blaze and firefighting efforts with water hoses. Next day, firemen are still spraying the area. | |
