Alaska Airlines
Loses Hangar in
$100,000 Fire
The Alaska Airlines lost its
hangar at the City Field early
Sunday morning about 2 a.m. The
estimated loss is reported to be
around $100,000. The hangar was
used by their bush planes and
contained repair facilities, parts,
tools and extra engines. A small
gas dozer was also housed in the
building.
Fire Chief Carl Webb said to
day he believes the fire started
from faulty wiring. The fire had
a considerable head start when it
was discovered and could not be
brought under control.
Company officials are expected
in today to inspect the damage,
as well as fire insurance adjust
ers from Seattle.
The Air Force fire department
from Nome Field assisted the
City Fire Department.
At the height of the blaze, the
heat was so great that it threat
ened to ignite the fabric of Alas
ka bush planes tied up near the
hangar and they were moved
farther down the field. Planes
belonging to Willie Foster, across
the field in direct line with the
flames were also moved to safety.
Flames from theofl
Sparks from the fire were
blown a half mile by the wind
and grass along the southern edge
of the field was ignited.
Several old planes, parked be
hind the hanger burned as did
an air sled parked about mid
way between the hangar and the
Bessie Road.
