Original Toronto Star caption: Blaze draws crowd: Firemen were hampered by thousands of spectators attracted to a fire that destroyed three lumber yards and a woollen mill last night in Toronto s west end. Heat from the fire was so intense that another lumber yard; a grocery store and many nearby homes were scorched. Four men from three borough fire departments were slightly injured. Damage has been estimated at about $3;000;000 and hydro was knocked out for about one square mile.
