Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Firefighters of the Anchorage Fire Department battling the fire of a warehouse at Merrill Field in Anchorage, Alaska, one of two major building fires in Anchorage during 1961. The building would be a total loss. It's unclear which side of the runway this was located on, but likely the north side; the south side of the runway, where most of Merrill Field's operations occur today, was largely home to Anchorage's landfill at the time and development didn't occur until after the construction of the old control tower, followed by the relocation of the landfill about a quarter century later. The Chugach Mountains can be faintly seen in the background through the smoke.
Date (taken); January or February 1962 (published)
Source City of Anchorage 1961 Annual Report, p. 20, in chapter titled "Fire Department"
