Steckley garage
razed by fire
Wingham firemen were unable
to save a garage owned by Arnold
Steckley on Huron County Road
12 about eight miles east of
Wingham on Monday. The build-
ing was completely destroyed by
the blaze and the total loss was
estimated at between $10,000 and
$15,000. Mr. Steckley was covered
by insurance.
The owner said the fire started
when he and a helper were doing
some welding repairs on a truck.
Sparks from the welding torch
ignited the truck's gas tank and
Mr. Steckley and his unidentified
helper were forced to flee the
building as the flames swept
through the garage. No one was
hurt as a result of the fire.
Lost in the fire were two
vehicles that were in the garage
for repairs and numerous
mechanic's tools and equipment.
The building was all but gutted
by the time Wingham firemen
arrived at the blaze and there
was little that could be done other
than preventing the flames from
reaching a nearby bush lot. As
firemen tried to control the fire
flames leaped into the air and a
plume of smoke rose over the
area and could be seen as far
away as Bluevale.
