The Doxol fire claimed the lives of eleven volunteer firemen, a worker and a policeman. It happenned July 5, 1973. I have read that the Doxol fire took place across from where NAPA is located. This pyramid structure is across from NAPA and south of the Martin Swanty dealership. So I was wondering if this marks the location. Most everything else in the area is vacant; as I have also read was the result of the fire. When the tank exploded fire rained down over quite an area and many spectators were injured who were watching from across route 66. There is a no trespassing sign so picture from a distance.
