Within a mile or more of Split Rock scores rushed from their homes to get out of the danger zone. At least 15 buildings of the great establishment were wiped out. A fire preceded the explosion by 45 minutes or more. Many of those killed or injured suffered while fighting the fire. Sol- vay guards, state troopers and other formed a cordon about the property A general exodus followed the blaze. Besides the fleeing workmen many families moved away from the scene. Daylight brought realization of the full horror of the disaster. In the blackened ruins were counted scores of hodies. Of the bodies in the ruins six were those of patrolmen.
