- Flames are visible coming out of the roof. One hose is stretched through an open door. Several men stand around watching and one is stepping over the hose headed toward the door. No firemen are visible. A coating of snow is on the ground. The building appears to be on pilings so may be on a waterfront. It is long and low with wooden siding and has several doorways along the side. Black smoke can be seen at one doorway. A shed-like structure is at the end of the building.
