Smoke Draws Crowd: A huge pillar of smoke attracted hundreds of spectators to the scene of a fire in a Sears, Roebuck & Co., warehouse in the 300 block of W. Washington St. at 10:40 this morning. From vantage spots atop the nearby city parking structure and the Ann Arbor Railroad tracks, as well as on the street, they watched firemen extinguish the blaze. The heat generated by the fire caused utility wires overhead to sag.

Flames Paint Ann Arbor Sky: Showers of sparks, flying brands and flames that reached a height of 100 feet marked this spectacular fire at the old Lansky junk yard building at Detroit and N. Division Sts. early this morning. The picture was taken just after the collapse of the frame front wall (left) of White's Farm Store. Silhouetted against the burning building in the front left foreground is the Fire Department ladder truck. Hose from this vehicle sprayed second story windows.

The red sky above this blazing building (left) was visible 15 miles as flames filled the 75-year-old structure and threatened 15 adjacent frame homes at Detroit and Beakes Sts. near N. Division St. Residents of the dwelling at the right were evacuated, but the vigilance of the firemen and a slight change in the wind saved the house.
