Joplin, Missouri
Eagle-Picher Lead Co. Plant Fire
February 8, 1946
FIREMAN HURT IN BLAZE AT EAGLE-PICHER
PLANT
Fire attributed to sparks from a welding torch
igniting a large quantity of stored paper bags
caused considerable damage at 10:30 o’clock
yesterday morning in the insulation department
at the Eagle-Picher Lead Company plant in
Smelter Hill.
Dan Abernathy,
a fireman, suffered a severe gash on one temple
during the fire when he was struck by a piece of
glass from a shattered window. He was taken to
St. John’s hospital in a Hurlbut ambulance for
emergency treatment.
Firemen brought the blaze under control without
serious damage to the building or to insulation
materials.
