"RAWHIDE
BURNED."
Summary: A fire started in a Rawhide,
Nevada doctor's office. Flames quickly reached the Ross Hotel, then a
high wind drove flames through the frame buildings of town. An
explosion of two tons of dynamite stored in one of the buildings
accelerated the spread of the inferno. The town's water supply proved
inadequate. Volunteer firemen were helpless in battling the raging
fire. More than 3,000 people were burned out of their homes and
businesses. Relief trains from Reno, Tonopah and Goldfield were put
on the road. In true western fashion, the ashes had not yet cooled
before orders were wired to Reno for lumber and brick for rebuilding.
