Fire Destroys
Army Dock At
Oakland, Calif.
_ •
OAKLAND, Calif. (A3)—A rag
ing waterfront fire yesterday de
stroyed one of the army’s largest
west coast docks and warehouses.
Flames shot 700 feet into the
air as the 2,000 foot pier in Oak
land’s outer harbor went up in
smoke. Two ships warped along
side were damaged before they
were towed to safety. Adjacent
warehouses and the entire Oak
land industrial waterfront were
threatened for several hours by
the spectacular blaze.
Three hours after the fire start
ed at midnight, oil drums explod
ed, hurling burning oil 600 feet or
more. Paint, rubber tires and
other combustibles jamming the
warehouse, fed the blistering
blaze that kept firemen from clos
ing in.
By 4 a.m. the fire had burned
itself out of fuel, leaving only red
embers of debris on the concrete
wharf.
Two soldiers were hurt slightly.
Fifty army families were evacu
ated from nearby army base resi
dences.
The cause of the fire was not
determined. The possibility of sa
botage was not discounted. Col.
George Brown, provost marshal
of the army base, said investiga
tion would conducted at once.
The two ships scorched and
damaged slightly by the flames
were the 13,000 ton Young Amer
ica and the 10,000 ton army trans
port Sgt. George O. Kathley.
Army authorities esti mated
dock and warehouse damage at
aboue $1,000,000.
