The Main Mail-Exchange Building in Melbourne, Australia, is swept by fire. Two thousand employees flee the burning building, two are rescued from the roof. A million dollars in damage is done by the flames. Thick columns of black smoke rise from a burning building. A convertible fire truck cruises down the street with a fireman crowed inside. Flames and smoke pour from heat smashed windows. A crowd watches as a man runs the length of the building's roofline escaping sheer death. A massive crowd gathers near a parking lot to watch the show. A firefighter shoots water into a window from the extended ladder of a hook and ladder truck.
