It is believed that a number of persons, visitors to the exhibition and servants there, are trapped behind walls of fire.

It is not known how many persons were inside the radio building and the blocks adjacent when the alarm was first given, but the halls have been crowded all week, 30,000 having visited the exhibition in the past six days. It is believed that visitors would be able to leave the doomed buildings speedily owing to the elaborate safety arrangements, but it is known that diners and a staff are high above the ground in the restaurant of the 400-foot wireless tower.
