Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Creator: Unidentified

Location: Burketown, Queensland
Description: Owned by Synnott, Murray & Scholes and leased by Mr. Albert Wright, the fire began in the rear of the building among camping gear, fanned by a strong breeze and only a few articles could be salvaged.
Efforts by the fire brigade to save the Commercial were hampered by a water shortage. Nearly all personal affects of Mr. Wright and other occupants were lost, and the building was uninsured.
(Information taken from the The Longreach Leader newspaper, Friday 15 October 1954).
