House Fire at Stanford McNeill's - 1967

     Thanks to Donna (Barbour) MacPhee for the following newspaper clipping.  I was asking my father Wilbert about this - he recalls going to help fight the fire - one of the firemen passed his hose to him to direct water on the house.  He was saying neighbours from all around came to help - even Roy Barbour from out the Western Road.
