★★★★ · Ship fire! Rubber Fire! Wood fire! · Spuzz · 2004-01-02

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. (Which brings the title of the film into question). it finally ends with a ship fire which threatens the ship to topple over. A nice bunch of clips.
