Consumers Public Power District's "sky worker", a huge truck with hydraulically-operated elevator for lifting workmen and tools to lofty positions, was speeded to O'Neill from Creighton.

The "sky worker" was credited with saving a portion of the west wing, because it enables firemen to attack the fire extremely at various heights.

The only floor completely destroyed in the west wing was the attic. The roof, of course, was consumed by the fire.

Consumers employees, Duane Schroder and Edward Schmit, were lauded by Fire Chief G. E. Miles for their assistance.

Leonard Davis, Northwestern Bell Telephone Co. employee, managed the company's floodlight truck which provided invaluable in battling the flames.

Both the "sky worker" and the light truck are indispensable tools for the utility firms in line maintenance.
