由赫尔曼·桑福德（Hermann Sanford）萨迪勒公司（Hermann Sanford Saddlery Company）占领的密苏里州斯普林菲尔德（Springfield）的一栋五层楼建筑，其所有楼层都包含从地板到天花板的扣，扣子等的垃圾箱，带有狭窄的过道和一个小楼梯。建筑物是11月7日发生大火的现场，该大火烧毁了该建筑物，对建筑物造成了约30,000美元的损失，价值35,000美元，对物品的损失为125,000美元，价值为20万美元。大火始于2.40 a。m。，在五楼的后部，是由于未知原因，烧了十五小时。该建筑位于公共广场以东一个街区，现年9岁，身高50 x 100英尺，由砖和木头建造。一名出租车司机发现了火灾，当W. R. Price是首席工程师的消防部门到达，火焰和烟雾从五楼的窗户发出。首席价格为两辆Ahrens-Fox轮船，一辆美国 - 法国组合浮力车和软管货车，一辆美国 - 法国航空卡车，四辆软管货车和一辆梯子卡车。六个发动机流和一条消防栓流通过2200英尺的软管。使用了三只炮塔管。喷嘴是LJDT英寸和三个长度的软管爆裂。 The water supply, with a 60-pound pressure at the hydrants, which were 300 feet apart, was sufficient for the plug stream and to supply the engines. The property w’as equipped with a standpipe and there were fifty feet of hose on each floor. The aerial truck was placed at the entrance to the building and did effective work there. When the south wall began to weaken, Chief Price ordered the aerial truck removed to the west side and later it was withdrawn from that position, when the west wall became weak. The truck had been removed about ten minutes when a section of wall fell where the apparatus had stood. A brick building immediately north of the saddlery plant was but slightly damaged. The roof caught fire several times, but the fire department succeeded in saving the building. When the magnitude of the fire was apparent, the electric power was switched off all over the city for some time.
