Description

Unique IDA-00257662SeriesNewsclippings BooksDate18th May 1929FormatNewscuttingDescriptionTwenty firemen collapse in smoke-filled city cellar. Q V Building fire below ground. Many firemen gripped by smoke; dauntless courage. Chief Officer Nance in the thick of deadly fumes. Hospital treats many victims. Half Sydney saw fire-fighters "eat smoke" with a vengeance last night in a stifling inferno. Timber and straw in the confines of Lindeman's wine cellars deep down under the Queen Victoria Building, George Street, smouldering for hours, heaped up a billowing hell of acrid, lung-catching smoke, so dense that more than a score of officers and men were casualties.
