I am Mark Hassell Smith, (Class of 1986, MA). I was a resident of Greenville and I photographed this event with a Pentax ME Super 35mm on Kodachrome slides. I have 21 images which I recently digitized. I can provide ECU Library with a zip file of these images and will agree to release these to East Carolina University with no restrictions for the archives. Please respond if you are interested in these color images of the Cannon Warehouse fire of January 1983, including the building, the firemen, the equipment use, helicopters from Channel 11, etc.
