The title says the Bangor fire left people homeless, though the record gives no date or photographer. The title comes from notes the Bain News Service wrote on the negatives or caption cards, and those notes are unverified. The George Grantham Bain Collection holds news photographs made mostly from about 1900 to the 1920s, often on glass plates like this one. Urban fires of that period frequently left families with nothing, and this picture's place on a fire-engine board suggests the scene may show the response or its aftermath.
