Photograph. Sepia-toned glossy photo showing a fire at a 5-story commercial building. The view shows several tall ladders, many fire hoses, firemen, and more than ten water jets that are being directed into the upper floors of the burning building. Black and white smoke is billowing from the top of the brick structure. Spectators and cars can be seen in the lower left corner area of the image. Handwriting on the verso shows "5 alarm fire, Beaubien & Gratiot, Goodwill Industries, five-story building, Mar. 11, 1938."
