Ottawa Fire Destroys Hundreds of Homes in Incendiary Blaze
A massive Ottawa fire, suspected incendiary, destroyed 15 million feet of lumber and dozens of dwellings near the Ottawa and Parry Sound railway. John White, just released from prison for arson, was seized near the origin and faces charges. About 500 to 600 families were left homeless, with authorities estimating losses around $300,000 for buildings and millions for lumber. The blaze, rivaling the April 1900 fire, raged along Division Street, First Avenue, and Richmond Road, and water access was initially cut off by a damaged main.
