They get away from the blaze itself/irequently to show victime, families, flremen, crowds and other aspects of the people involved. Spectacuiarism of the fire itself was a setup for the newsreelers, with explosions and the heat causing one high wall after aft* other to topple,: Both reels also have some shots : from the aiiv although th2se are taken-from such a height that; they, are not i)articularly re-, vcaling. .:; ; - Scenes of the Mediterranean naval battle (Par) are one Of the news- reel surprises of the war to date.
