Burning Warehouses

(Original Caption) A row of warehouses along the Zaan River becomes a roaring furnace as a fire gets out of control in this section of Zaandam, near Amsterdam. The buildings were filled with coconuts, copra, wooden doors and other quick-burning materials, which only added to the woes of the struggling firemen. Two of the warehouses burned to the ground, while a third was almost completely destroyed.
