Elmendorf Base Has Costly Warehouse Fire
Two warehouse fires occurring in May and June, the first at Elmendorf Base, Elmendorf, AFB, Alaska, and the second at Fort Richardson, nearby, early in June, gave base and fort fire fighters tough workouts and resulted in the destruction of much essential government material.
Termed the costliest fire ever to hit Elmendorf, a blaze, which broke out at 7:01 on May 28th, quickly involved a large quonset type warehouse. Base fire equipment fought the stubborn blaze, which wrecked the structure measuring 130x165 feet, and which was loaded with aircraft parts, communications material and other equipment.
