The record for this glass negative spells the name two ways, Rogers and Rodgers, and marks the title as unverified, so the exact fire it shows is not confirmed. Its date, May 15, 1915, places it within the work of the Bain News Service, the New York agency that supplied newspapers with news photographs. Bain's photographers covered fires, disasters and public events for daily papers, and their glass plates were often filed with little more than a caption card. Many of those negatives now survive in the Library of Congress.
