FRIENDS CHAT—Children know the fire fighter as their friend. He's the one who puts out
fires in their home, welcomes them at the fire hall, talks t� them in the classroom and even
on occasion rescues their pets from a precarious perch.
NOT ONLY HOMEOWNERS suffer injury during' a fire. This
Toronto firefighter was one of 500 injured on the job. In 1973
(the most recent figures available), 201 firefighters in
Canada and the U.S. died, on the.ob, while 6 , 19 were in-
jured. The percentage of death's*nd in sustained by
firemen is the third highest of anoccupational group (even
more than police) which illustrates the dangers involved in
this demanding profession.

A F1RE SUNDAY MORNING completely destroyed the Corrie mill despite the strenuous
efforts of three fire departments. The Wingham, Blyth and Harriston fire brigades were
called to the fire after the call came in at 8:30 a.m. Billowing smoke covored the mill and
the surrounding area when the first tankers and pumps arrived. Firemen, however, were
unable to reach the first blaze which quickly spread to consume the -entire structure. Des-
truction of the mill, a Subsidiary of the Fordwich Feed Mill, was total. Chief Dave
Crothers of the Wingham Fire Department estimated the Toss at $1.40,000.
