Scope and content
At 6:50 p.m. on October 18, 1934, the Clear Fir Lumber Company on South 19th at the Day Island waterway was destroyed in a spectacular $250,000 fire. Flames shot 70 feet in the air before the alarm was ever received. The flames spread rapidly through the historic mill, built in 1912. When the fire was finally put out, the dock platform, mill and 2 million board feet of lumber were a complete loss. ("100 Years of Firefighting")
