Inside empty room in house, fireman, preparing to set fire, sprinkles flammable liquid onto a small pile of trash. He's smoking a cigar.

Fireman bends over trash setting it ablaze.

Early moments; smoke pouring through roof. Firetruck in foreground.

The fire has spread inside the house; smoke pouring through eaves.

Night: Rear of firetruck with work lights on and hoses attached. Hot, sweaty fireman with jacket off, puffs on stump of cigar.

Three firemen holding hose, smiling at camera.

Daylight scene: Safely back from burning mill house, a dozen men and boys watch the fire's progress.
