★★★★ · Ship fire! Rubber Fire! Wood fire! · Spuzz · 2014-05-18

this film, which is just a bunch of RKO-Pathe clips editied together, shows another bunch of spectacular fires. The rubber factory fire is the most fiery of the lot, billowing smoke everywhere. We also see clips from a oil refinery and a lumberyard in London. it finally ends with a ship fire which threatens the ship to topple over. A nice bunch of clips.

You shouldn't watch these fiery scenes (or stare at a bonfire) less then two hours before retiring - you'll pee in bed. (at least that's what our moms told us back in the day)
