PACE THREE old Skating Rink Passed Onin Blaze of Glory Morning of June 19 1928 opined from the Oshawa Daily Times, June 19, 1928) Charred and smouldering ruins were evidence this morning of the disastrous fire which swept prac- tically a whole block, causing dam- age estimated at more. than $75,000. and making five families - homeless, in the central section of the city last night. The flames fanned by a heavy wind, had gain- ed such great headway by the time the local fire department was on the scene, that three homes, in the immediate vicinity had already fallen prey to the conflagration. Bradley's skating rink was razed to the ground while Flintoff's Warehouse situated on the south gide of the road, was a regular inferno of flames. As the strength of the porth cast wind grew the ravaging fire crept northward across the block destroying a double house on wil liam street pwned by Mrs. Ken- neth Watson. a barn used for the storage of hay belonging to ward James and a woodyard own- ed by Barnhart and C ampbell, Sev- eral garages fell before. the flam- ing onslaught. Soon after the alarm to.the awa Fire Department had turned in by geant of Police Stauffer, who détected the fire from the Police Station, both Whit- by and Bowmanville - fire dep: ments were summoned and it was only through the timely arrival o 'these that the fire was 7To- stricted to one area. and finally controlled. It was foreseen that the strcams of water bei played on the flames were utilized to a far . greater advantage on the nearby residences which were threatened with destruction.
