FERE IN' PINERY T'ILREAT'EilED
SUMIVICER COTTAGES
A` fire started in the Pinery south
of Grand Pend in what is known• as
the London side,: Saturday and
threatened to destroy the summer
cottages. Early in the afternoon
smoke was seen about a mile south
of the river, A number of campers
were 'spending the week -end at their
summer homes and these' reinforced
by men from the village fought
the fire until late that night. Ser.
J. Hubert -Jones and several men
from town motored back in the
evening and assisted in the fight:
The fire was confined largely to the
undergrowth, and leaves although
over a small` area a number of the
trees were burned. Several farmers
turned out with their teams and
ploughed furrows along one of the
sandy roads running east and west
and the fire largely spent itself at
this barrier. It was ten o'clock at
night before the fire was practically
under control: A' picket of six men
watched the fire all night. At mid-
night the wind went down and in.
the morning a N. W. wind came up
and carried the fire south into the'
bush. In some places the fire swept
through- h ugh- from the old.river bed to
the lake. The men put up a strenu-
ous and heroic fight and their ef-
forts were rewarded although it
looked very serious at times. Had
the fire caught .the cottages . the'
whole London side would have been
wiped out as everything is so dry
and the wind was quite strong. The
fire came within a foot of a garage
belonging to Rev, Mr. Jones, of
Chatham. At' the same time a big-
ger fire raged' in the"marshes about
three miles south of the Bend and
property damage is also reported
at Pt. Frank. The cause of the fire
is unknown.. A number from Exe
ter were back on Sunday to see the
effects of the fire.
