[Spectacular Fire on East Hickory, 1942]

Photograph of firemen battling a two-alarm fire at the 200 block of East Hickory Street. Several water hoses are being used and strewn across the ground. Fire Chief Eugene Cook and his men can be seen fighting the flames while several onlookers are in the street. The origin of the flame was undetermined. Southeast winds fanned the fire up the street to consume a domino parlor, the former Morris Feed Store, tin-covered sheds (once a lumberyard), and damaged J. B. Woodrum's tire shop, the Ted Price Garage, and the Martin Shoe Shop on the east side of the flames. The fire also damaged some apartments on Oak Street, just behind the businesses.
