On October 3, 1975 an explosion and fire occurred at a grain elevator in the Vancouver harbour. When it was over, there were four people dead, thirteen injured and eight million dollars in damages. Chief Fire Inspection Officer G.D. Tyson describes how the fire started and how it was fought while we see scenes from the fire and from the hospital where the injured were taken.
