Through acres of hot ashes. Into heaps of bricks, skeletons of old landmarks and twisted steel girders the explorers dug, hunting valued documents and property that might have survived the holocaust, and hoping the loss of human life would not grow. , The one known victim was Isacc Means, 60 year old watchman who discovered the first flames in the cattle pens near the Forty Third street viaduct. The charred body was found less than two blocks from the point where Means shouted to other workers: "It's a fire." So quickly did the blaze spread on the wings of a brisk south west wind, that Means was overtaken and burned to death before he could make his way out of the labyrinth of livestock corrals. One other death was attributed indirectly to the disaster, that of Walter Burnfield, 33, who dropped dead of excitement as he watched the flames.
