Hugh, I found the following references to other fires. The scope of these particular disasters must have involved records:
Norwest Bank fire: In 1982, a Thanksgiving Day fire completely gutted Norwest's headquarters--a 16-story building occupying a full block in downtown Minneapolis.
One Meridian Plaza fire: The fire claimed the lives of three Philadelphia firefighters and gutted eight floors of a 38-story fire-resistive building causing an estimated $100 million in direct property loss and an equal or greater loss through business interruption.
First Interstate Bank fire: On Wednesday, May 4 and continuing in to May 5, 1988, the Los Angeles City Fire Department responded to and extinguished the most challenging and difficult high-rise fire in the city's history. The fire destroyed four floors and damaged a fifth floor of the modern 62 story First Interstate Bank building in downtown L.A., claimed one life, injured approximately 35 occupants and 14 fire personnel, and resulted in a property loss of over $50 million.
