Blaze Guts Local Car Dealership In Ottawa Night
A downtown fire destroyed four cars at Ron Henry Ford and damaged the service area and parts shop. Firefighters, hampered by subfreezing temps and a faulty snorkel, contained the blaze after a long night of alarms and power outages that affected multiple area towns. Two Thunderbirds at Ed Amrein’s Willow Lane home were also ruined as flames spread to the kitchen and attic.
