UNION PACIFIC MILL - 1910



Before the fire

In 1910, flames devoured the Union Pacific Rolling Mill in Laramie, Wyoming, which produced steel rails.

The roof collapsed shortly after the arrival of firefighters.

The Boomerang newspaper reported a locomotive spark ignited the fire. The Republican newspaper said the blaze started in one of the stacks.
