Stillman Fires Collection: Demonstration London Fire Brigade

★★★ · Not London, but... · Wilford B. Wolf · 2004-07-30

A series of color, silent home movies showing five fires in the greater New York and Boston areas from the early 1940s. Two are night time fires, one in a lumber yard, and one in Jersey City, which are fairly dramatic, but understandably dark. The longer sequences are apartment fires, giving a good view of period equipment and clothing.
