Description: | Stockshots of four major city fires, two in Britain, two in America, probably before 1920.
The first fire is in London, "Britain's largest timberyard" burning. The second fire is an asphalt works in New Jersey, with oil tanks and barrels ablaze. The third conflagration is at "Saint Margret's" (sic ?) railway station, probably in Scotland, showing firemen playing their hoses over the blaze, and unsafe walls being pulled down by hawsers. The last fire is a warehouse in New York. The outer shell of the building collapses as people watch.
