| After making sure all equipment was moved away from the fire and that the perimeter was wet enough to keep the f ire from spreading, there was little for the firemen to do. |
 |
| Gary Steele sprays the stack, though the water has little effect on the hot fire. Eventually, the firemen decided the best course of action would be to let the stack burn itself out, while being monitored by Anderson. |
