Fire levels BMD Sqcfo Wqrehouse

A spectacular three-alarm fire completely leveled the Sacramento branch warehouse of Building Material Distributors at 1925 Stockton Blvd. early Wednesday evening, December 9. The fire, which broke out in an adjacent building, started at8:57 p.m. and spread to the BMD warehouse before it could be contained. Sacramento Fire Department officials stated the fire started in the Ellis Company building when a butane tank accidentally rolled off a lift truck and exploded.

BMD Vice-President, Secretary and General Manager Bill Grieve said the company was completely insured and that the firm's two trucks were not in the building at the time of the fire. Grieve stated that by midnight following the fire, all suppliers had been wired to divert all Sacramento shipments to the company's Stockton headquarters and warehouse. Orders to replace lost inventory were also entered.

BMD salesmen and the company's two "fortunate" trucks were servicing the Sacramento area as usual the next morning. BMD operates warehouses at Fresno and San Jose, with headquarters in Stockton, and will relocate in Sacramento as soon as manag'ement completes a survey of the area, Grieve reports.
