DESCRIPTION

Caption on reverse [translation]: "Old man escapes from burning Fuunkaku. (Zushi Telephone). At 8:40 a.m. on the 20th, the home of Yukio[?] Ozaki, which was known as Fuunkaku, caught fire, and the main house and half of a detached building burned down. The fire was put out at 10 a.m. on the same day. The cause of this fire was carelessness with a Korean floor heater. Mr Ozaki was reading on the second floor when the fire started, but at the same time that it ignited he [?] ran downstairs, where it was full of flames. He ran away from the house with his daughter, Yukika[?], to the hill behind his house. The photos are Fuunkaku on fire and Mr Ozaki."
