STK-ID 6535

(14/02/1948) Several LASs of heavy black smoke billowing up from burning building, of crowds of curious gathered on top of a building, on street, as police try to push them back. Shots of fiercely burning building interior. Words: Kent Theatre on burning building. Night sequence on fierce fire in a railway yard, silhouettes of box cars, link fences. Fire fighters can be seen in foreground fighting the fire. Morning shots of damage, twisted wreckage, pipes, shell of buildings, tanks dislodged from their foundations, twisted conduits. Shots of wreckage covered with ice.
