Two Die in Tanker Fire
In a fire ascribed to carelessness, two men lost their lives and three others leaped to safety when fire broke out on a tanker tied up at the Associated Oil Company’s pier at Avon, Contra Costa County, thirty-five miles from San Francisco and on Suisun Bay, an arm of landlocked San Francisco harbor.
Damage to ship and wharf was estimated at from $50,000 to many times that amount, after flames raged out of control for more than two hours.
