1955 Lava Flow and we were there:)
My dad Frank Burns (CES Burns Jr.) took most of this video. He was manager and had to prove to the insurance company that the fire destroyed the cane acreage-----before the approaching lava. The sugar plantation had insurance for fire- not lava- and lots of acreage was burned. All we Burns kids are in the video, mom and dad, even our grandmother Puna Walker and our parents good friends David and Beppy
