I remember that fire and know the officer of Marine 8 that day later became the Captain of Engine 248 in Flatbush: Bob Lindgren. After leading the Heart of Flatbush, he was promoted to Battalion Chief and served in the 38th Battalion in Crown Heights.
I believe there was a very good article, with pictures, on the oil yard fire in an issue of WNYF. I have all of them going back to 1955 and could probably come up with it.
