Scope and content
Fire lights up the night sky on October 18, 1934 as the Clear Fir Lumber Co. on the south end of 19th St. at the Day Island Waterway goes up in flames. The spectacular fire shot flames 70 feet into the air and carried sparks over a half mile before it was extinguished by local firefighters and the "Fireboat." The mill, dock platform and 2 million board feet of lumber were a complete loss. ("100 Years of Firefighting") (filed with Argentum)
