Granddad said that the bridge crew had to wait for a line crew to meet with them to get out of the fire area. The line crew came south on a hand pumped dolly car with the fire chasing them. They all left the bridge on a flatcar with smoke and hot coals landing on them as they came south out of the fire area.
