Original Toronto Star caption: Three-alarm fire last night in Oshawa hay have been started deliberately; fire authorities say. A woman and two girls; aged 5 and 14; are in hospital with injuries suffered when they jumped from their apartment above a burning store. Two firemen also were injured. The firemen had to rely on their straddle truck; equipped with an aerial basket; because the aerial water truck was in Toronto to have a new engine installed. A storeroom was burning early today.
