A REAL FIRE FOR FIREMEN
Visitors See Welland Brigade Respond to Call at Mrs. Susan Lamonts
[Welland Telegraph, 5 August 1910]
The home of Mrs. Susan Lamont, Regent Street, was totally destroyed by fire on Tuesday evening.
Mrs. Lamont is an aged woman and lived alone in the house. Mrs. Lamont states that she heard someone at the rear of the house just before the blaze started and she believes the house was set on fire.
The blaze was first noticed by the men in charge of the fireworks display on the canal. As everyone was on pleasure bent it was some time before an alarm was sent in.
Most of the furnishings were gotten out but a small sum of money and a few other valuables were destroyed. Mrs. Lamont was helped away from the front door where she was sitting by a neighbor.
The house was worth about $300. Whether there was any insurance or not is not known.
