3. Fire
Pictured inside the Wicker Goods Yard after a devastating fire on July 31, 1966. Flames licked 70 feet in the air and a column of dense smoke, described by a witness more than a mile away as "resembling a miniature atom bomb mushroom," rose hundreds of feet. Four firemen were injured when part of the shed roof collapsed. Photo: submitted
