The Cover
When chemicals in the San Carlos. Calif., burning warehouse of Western Associates, Inc., let go during a hot fire, San Carlos fire fighters fled for their lives, as shown on the cover illustration. Fortunately, all made cover in time.
The warehouse, which was destroyed with heavy loss, housed critical materials essential to the war effort, it was said. Initial reports listed the cause of the blaze and blast as possible sabotage, but later statements denied this. Company officials said the company had been working on a $150,000 government contract, but “was not working specifically on military assignments.”
