(( Around 3:30 on the afternoon of February 24, 1965, the finishing area of the number 1 American Furniture Company plant caught on fire.
Firefighters were worried because the facility contained some highly flammable materials.
The flames spread into the ceiling the old building and were 50 feet high at times.
An estimated 2 million gallons of water were used to battle flames.
The plant's sprinkler system proved unreliable in this incident.
The sprinklers were not facing the ceiling therefore they were no use to the flames overhead.
However, the firefighters did have the benefit of a fire wall between the finishing department and the manufacturing department.
That saved the plant from further damage.
That night, a plant official said there was no danger of an explosion.
A central pipe system containing materials like varnish was turned off as soon as the fire began.
According to published reports, a plant official said the cause of the fire was bound to be a short or a broken exhaust fan.
All 200 employees escaped unharmed.
By the end of the week production at the plant was back to normal. They did move finishing operations to other American furniture plants until the burned area was rebuilt.
