The damage will in into several thousand dollars, i pri most of the harm g done by water, The cause is nown, but is thought to be spontaneous combustion. " Investigation by General Motors clals shows that the fire start- 'in one. corner of the stock room on the ground floor, but the cause "still a mystery, In this partic. r corner is located a runming- rd dip, now out of use, and which has been slated for discard, In this dip is used a vielous black liguid used to treat wood to re- sist deterioration, and it is thought that the fire started near the tanks which formerly contained this sub- stance, Although they are no long- er in use, there was still a residue of the inflammable liquid in the ks, and, when the fire reached them, it burned quite fiercely, reaching up. through the ceiling and into the second floor, From here it spread to the third floor, #nd the eity fire department were led upon to fight a fire on three sia at once, . Since mo ome works in proximity to these tanks, officials of the com- pany are mystified as to what caus- ed the blaze, The theory advanc- ed by Col, F. Chappell, assistant factory manager, is that oily rags thrown there may have caused spontaneous combustion. Bales of wool are stored just near the tanks, and these were also burned. The wooden racks formerly used fo dry running boards after they bad been treated, had heen remov- d after active operations of this ature has been discontinued, ¢ The flooring and walls in this Building are of wood, and the fire, creeping up and along them, broke out twice after it had been appar- ently extinguished, The floor is omposed of 2x6 joists, placed on he side with a small air space be- tween the floor on the upper side of oak. Thus, when the fire got into the flooring, it burned up through over six inches of wood and secured a firnr hold, then ran up the wall and mushroomed out in the 'floors above, The task of the firemen was quite dificult, the city department Jaying two lines of hose that to- talled 1,400 feet. The fire de- partment of General Motors also poured water on the blaze, and, a8 a result, the upholstery and other stock of each of the six makes of automobiles made hy General Motors is affected. Chey- rolet production is especially de- ranged, Buick and Cadillac being plso. affected. Stock of Oldsmo- bile, Oakland snd La Salle was glso damaged to some extent, It was pointed out by Mr. Chappell that this material is cut a week or so in advance of actual require- ments, and overtime work in some departments will be necessary for some days to catch up with normal work. The Buick assembly line was stopped all afternoon yester- day, and Chevrolet production also stopped about three o'clock, when the shortaze of stock became ap- arent, Both departments are go- g at full speed today, however. .
