MEMORIES OF
DUNGANNON FIRE
• APRIL 1.1937
On April 1st, 1937 a
disastrous fire almost wiped
out the west side of the main
street of Dungannon. The fire
started in the evening in' a
general store owned by
Montgomerys where A. J.
Sherwood's store and Post
Office building now is. It
spread to buildings on both
sides before the Fire
Department from Kincardine
reached the scene.
When called, they first
thought it was an April Fool's
joke but when Mr. Heber
Eedy convinced them it was
no hoax they came as quickly
as possible. Goderich Fire
Dept. could not come because
of some disagreement with
the insurance company.
Montgomery's store and
residence, Lorne McKenzie's
garage and McKenzie's
Hardware and dwelling and
Tom and Mary Rivett's
Restaurant and home were
destroyed but the firemen
stopped . the flames from
consuming the central office
which was where Russell
Johnstons live now.
Lorne McKenzie had been
to Toronto. that day and still
was not home but some of the
villagers managed to save
some new cars he had just
recently got in. The irony was
that the new cars were still
covered by company in-
surance but the remainder of
the contents of the garage
which was burned was not
insured, People helped carr
things out of the store, an
some bags of sugar
mysteriously disappeared.
There was a dance at the
Anglican Parish Hall that
night so after the fire - was
under control the firefighters
went to the hall and were
refreshed with coffee and
sandwiches.
In spite of the fact that so
much was going on in the
village and most of the
surrounding rural area was
alerted by the party line
system, there were " some
villagers who slept through it
all. Miss Nettie Sproul, who
lived behind the United
Church where MacAulays
live now, was a clerk in
Montgomery's store and
knew nothing about the fire
till she came to work - what a
shock.
