when a Morris Township family
returned from Christmas shopping
last Wednesday morning to find the
back kitchen of their home gone
and extensive heat and smoke dam
age to the rest.
Wingham firefighters were called
to the property of Robert Himmel-
man, Lot 13, Cone. 1, at 9:45 a.m.
on Dec. 16, by a passing neighbour
who had seen the flames shooting
through the roof of the house, said
Deputy Chief Lynn Hickey. Fire
fighters battled the blaze for almost
five hours before getting it under
control. The damage, said Deputy
Chief Hickey is estimated at $40-
50,000.
The cause, he said was acciden
tal, resulting from a pot left on an
electric stove. The family had left
the house about one hour earlier.
A trust fund has been established
at the Bank of Montreal in Wing
ham, said Fire Chief Hickey.
