Fire in Ville Platte, Louisiana, late 1910s crop

Fire at Ville Platte, La. Being early upon the scene the Red Cross workers, assisted by many others of the town, rendered first aid to the burned and injured as quickly as they were taken from the flames. Finding places to house the dead, dying, or seriously injured rendering first aid, identifying their dead for relatives doing the many big and little things necessary at such a time, the Red Cross earned the praise and gratitude of a grateful people http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/anrc.11805a
