Mr. Roberts was travelling west on the 13.-line when the front right tire on the car blew out. )3e1Pre he had time to step from the car, he smelled smoke and noticed flames under the dash. He immediately ran to a nearby home to summon fire- men but when he got no re- sponse at the house he returned to the car and attempted to ex- tinguish the fire with gravel from the road. When this failed he instruct- ed his only passenger, Buddy Griffiths, also of Toronto, to go to the next farm home for aid. In the meantime, John Hopper came upon the scene and drove Mr. Roberts to town. Firemen arrived too late to save the car as fire spread to the rear of the station wagon where a five gallon safety can of gasoline exploded, blowing out the side and roof of the vehicle. Mr. Roberts said that only a small amount of insur- ance was carried on the car, rendered a total loss by the. flames. Firemen discovered that the engine compartment was un- scathed, indicating that the flames started in the wiring un- der the dash and worked their way back.
