Description
Caption: Getting at the fire - A Detroit fire fighter hacks away at the wood siding of a window of the Concord Apartments on E. Grand Blvd. near St. Paul during a two-alarm fire Friday. The building had been condemned, but fire officials said people were living in it and some refused to leave. The fire, which began around 1:30 p.m. and was under control in 45 minutes, was confined to the top floor of the north wing, the same area where a previous fire caused extensive damage. No injuries were reported. The cause had not been determined, but the arson squad was investigating, officials said.

The front and back of this photograph are pictured below.
