Hot as the fire was, it was under con trol five minutes after fire-men got the two powerful streams onto the blaze. Chief casualty was the phone service. Lead in cables to the adjacent telephone cen- ter ran right through the heart of the blaze and were literally melted away. Mt. States T. & T. manager Vaughn Krebs and emergency crews put in a sleepless night Tuesday to restore full service. Firemen arc shown huddling against the heat as they fight the blaze. |
