Stillman Fires Collection: Albany St Lumber Yard

★★★★ · Gotta love those Cambridge 6 baggers · Spuzz · 2005-02-19

Another great compilation of fire clips from Mr. Stillman, in this, we see tire dumps, plain fields, burning beds, a piano factory, the title lumber yard, and an artillery barracks. The greatest fires are though a barn fire caused by "spontaneous combustion"(?!?) and a factory filled with paper plates! Now, if that's not entertaining enough for you, I don't know what is.

★★★ · Boston's Burning! · Christine Hennig · 2004-01-12

Silent film footage from the 30s of firefighters fighting fires in various Boston locations, including the Albany St. Lumber Yard. Some of the scenes of fires are pretty spectacular while other scenes are murky and hard to see. This is gritty, real firefighting footage, though, so if that interests you, this is a film to check out. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: *. Weirdness: **. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ***.
