Fire at the C.F.M and Para Rubber building

20 December 1966

Interesting angles, in this photo, of a triangle formed by the firefighter on his extended ladder, the flow of water from his hose, across the top of the adjoining C.F.M and the Para Rubber buildings, masts on these buildings. Against a sky filled with different shades of smoke.
