Horizontal view of the firefighters standing atop verandas and existing fire escapes with fire hoses, whilst smoke billows from the upper floors of the building. Power lines run alongside and towards the building. In the left of the photo there appears to be a number of spectators watching from the roof top of a building close by. This photo shows more of a ladder running from ground floor and firefighters handling of the hoses, communication between firefighters on the ground and veranda. Boxes flowing out of the store front door.
