The photograph shows the smouldering ruins at the scene of Monday night’s big Are as it appeared at mid-day yesterday. In the foreground is Blair Street. The building in which the outbreak occurred is that with “The Fruit Exchange” sign. This block of buildings covers the whole area between Blair and Allen Streets, the latter thoroughfare (not shown in picture) running parallel to Blair Street at left. The fire travelled right along the Blair Street frontage almost to the Burbidge building at the corner of Blair Street and Wakefield Street (the cross street in the middle distance). On the Alien Street frontage the flames swept everything up to Laery, Beveridge’s building on the corner of Allen and Wake field Streets. —L. Wallace, photo.
