Battalion Fire Chief Walter McGrath and his operator Arthur Miller, were burned about the face and arms when plaster and burning embers fell on them while they were climbing the stairway in the building.

The flames broke through the roof in the center of the twostory structure shortly after 1 o'clock. A general alarm brought most of the available fire fighting apparatus of the city to the scene. The warehouse, which was filled with paint and wallpaper, caused a fierce fire which was difficult to control, and the flames for a time threatened a number of wooden shacks and frame houses The fire department officials believe that the fire was probably caused by spontaneous combustion, due to the hour of the fire and the fact that the company has had other fires in the recent months.
