The building burned down to its iron framework is the forge workshop connected to the Municipal Waterworks Bureau Moto-machi Building. Wooden government buildings and storehouses burned to the ground. The staff in them died. A coal-burning bus appears in the foreground. An exposed streetcar is abandoned on the side of the road.
