As there is no fire protection at Bingham Junction, save an Impromptu one consisting of a bucket brigade, little was done to try to extinguish the Camas. Persons who gathered at the scene of the Are assisted in getting some of the furniture from the buildings. The fire lasted nearly three hours and burned it self out.
