The Raven's Heavy Curtains

Heavy curtains in The Raven bar catch fire when a glowing poker tossed during the firefight lands in them. Flames erupt and spread rapidly across the ceiling, consuming the bar's interior and turning the tavern into a blazing hazard. Marion dodges the inferno, Belzig grabs the medallion amid the chaos, Indy fires his .45, and Nazi henchmen scramble as the fire forces a frantic retreat through shattering glass.
