Fire on Highway 401 Destroys Hartley Family Belongings
A German couple visiting Canada lost most possessions in a truck fire on Highway 401 near Courtice. The Hartleys and their 11 year old son watched as furniture and 400 records burned. Fire departments from Bowmanville Oshawa and Whitby reportedly did not respond due to highway fire restrictions. The driver Horst Hoensch of Orono owned the truck and helped move items to Toronto. Loss valued at 500 to 700 dollars includes clothing and personal gear. The Hartleys were trespassing in Canada for three months en route to Hanover Germany, planning to sail home after the incident.
