Fire Drill At Factory (1910-1920)

Fire drill at factory. Location of events unknown / unclear. Shot from 2nd floor height of brick building. Firefighters send up streams of water at the building while hundreds of factory and office workers (both men and women) hurry down the fire escape (not the folding kind). Then shot looking down at the firemen working; the stairs now empty. A few men and women below; walk past building - probably company owners who are going to watch the drill. Then more people coming down stairs. Firemen arrive and turn on hose. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
