Heavy Loss In Toronto Oil Tank Fire
A massive fire at the British American Oil Company storage area in Toronto caused extensive damage and nearly one million dollars in loss. Firefighters battled muffled blasts and roaming flames for hours, guarding huge gasoline tanks as rivers of burning oil flowed through snow and rain. The blaze, sparked by a short circuit, prompted a fourth alarm and attracted reinforcements from several districts, with multiple buildings and hundreds of drums destroyed. Additional fires across Canada raised the national loss and casualty figures, including a Halifax incident and a Ste. Rese cottage explosion.
