Damping Down Fire (1914-1918)

Damping Down Fire. Location of events unknown. Pan across a mound of earth and a ruined building as firemen work with hoses to put out a smouldering fire. Other shots show what looks like sacks of something smouldering away. There is either snow or foam covering the sacks. Looks like a tremendous explosion of some kind took place. Could be at a warehouse? FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV. IT’S FULL OF GREAT DOCUMENTARIES, FASCINATING INTERVIEWS, AND CLASSIC MOVIES.
