Verzoni, Angelo. "Film in Flames; The Fox Film Corporation vault fire of 1937, Little Ferry, New Jersey", NFPA Journal, July / August 2017. Accessed December 16, 2020. "Nitrate film, also known as celluloid film, was the most popular film from the advent of cinema through the mid-20th century. But there was a problem with it: Nitrate film was so unstable that, when exposed to high temperatures or improperly stored, it could spontaneously combust. That’s what happened on July 9, 1937, in a film storage facility owned by the Fox Film Corporation in Little Ferry, New Jersey. In the midst of a heat wave that drove daytime temperatures above 100 degrees F, a sudden ignition of nitrate film stored in inadequately vented vaults triggered a violent blast that claimed the life of a teenage boy and destroyed all of the film stored there."
