The upper view shows the fence at the end of Segal Street, above Erie Street, which firemen say hampered them during yesterday’s big fire which caused $225,000 damage. The insert shows how a fireplug was blocked. The lower sketch is a bird’s eye view of where the fences are located in relation to the big blaze. Officials of several plants destroyed by fire say they will demand from city officials an explanation as to why the fence was built.
