Fire scene at the Monte Vista Guitar Shop; view of damaged guitars and stereo equipment. Owner Beni Benedetti was seriously injured with burns on Friday morning, January 3, 1969, when fire gutted his Monte Vista Guitar Shop, 8324 South Tacoma Way. Benedetti's wife and son were in the building at the time of the fire but they escaped unharmed. All six Lakewood-area fire trucks rushed to the scene where an explosion had occurred, followed by the devastating fire. They were unable to save the building but prevented the fire from spreading to nearby trailer homes. Photograph ordered by attorney Herb Gelman. (TNT 1-3-69, p. 1, TNT 1-4-69, p. 20)
