Photograph taken at night of people standing near structural fire. Caption: "Champlin refinery's specialty equipped fire fighters battle the blaze which broke out in the company's oil processing plant at Enid early Friday. An explosion in one of the processing tanks was blamed. Damage was estimated by a company official at $650,000. They had it in check by 10 AM although it was still burning and there was plenty of smoke. Two hours later the fire was out. Note the work man who has lost interest in the fire. E. H. Slater, Champlin vice president, said rebuilding would start as soon as ashes cooled."
