Flames from a_ plumber's torch is believed the cause of the $100,000 blaze which gutted half the building owned by Wal- ter Zygmont. The building was insured. Oshawa firefighters responded to the alarm about 2 p.m. after Mrs. Zygmont discovered the blaze raging in the basement below Zygmont's variety store, which occupies part of the build- ing. Fire Chief Raymond G. Hobbs sounded a general alarm within minutes of the first call. "As soon as I arrived I knew we had a bad one on our hands," said Chief Hobbs -- still at the scene of the fire at 11 p.m. The general alarm summoned all off-duty firemen to fight the blaze, MASS EVACUATION Mass evacuation of the build- ing.. began immediately after Remi Raisenne 'yelled loud enough to let everybody (14) families) know what was hap-| pening." A night worker at Alger Press, Raizenne wakened only in time to escape with the clothes he was wearing: He res- cued one of Mrs. Zygmont's Siamese cats but a second per- ished, Other tenants in the building, Mr. and Mrs. Grant C. Bircham, said they didn't realize their building was ablaze until they investigated the sound of sirens nearby. Mrs. Bircham carried their year-old son, Ronnie, from Store the fire at 8.30 pim., said 'he hadn't "broken down yet", but added "I guess I will pretty soon"', The loss of all his fam- ily's possessions included @ $1,000 stero set he built about two years ago. BELONGINGS IN STREET Other families stood amid what appeared to be a gigantic auction sale with piles of furni- ture, appliances and clothing |in+ ing the roadside around the de- vastated building. Bircham, whose family is stay- ing with his father until he can move back into his smoke- damaged apartment, praised the work of welfare groups in Oshawa. "They made sure everyone had a place to stay," he said. Owner Zygmont 'says he will start to rebuild immediately, "The building was insured for. $100,000, but $200,000 couldn't cover the loss," he said. 'M: Store, a total loss, was more than $25,000 and my own apartment -- it was the finest in all Oshawa -- was worth eas- ily the same_amount." FIRE-WALL HELPS Mr. Zygmont stroked the stucco wall separating the gut ted portion from the smoke- damaged portion of the build- jing. "Here is the fire wall which saved eight apartments, Tll have painters, hydro peo- ple and the public utilities in here right away to get the ants can move back." "You know, I have owned 'this building for about seven years.

One of the hun- dreds of spectators at the fire) | said smoke seemed to pour out the doors with the same force as water tumbles over Niagara Falls. All available firefighting equipment including the aerial truck was pressed into action, with the Garrard road detach- ment filling in at headquarters. "We were well equipped to handle the heavy smoke prob- lem but false ceilings in the apartments hampered our ef- forts," said Chief Hobbs. He ex- plained that fire creeps between the enclosed space, and sudden ly bursts out where least ex- pected. ROOF COLLAPSES Efforts to douse the blaze were also hampered when the roof collapsed. and melting tar stopped the water from reach- ing the flames. Dense black smoke from the burning tar} blanketed Oshawa from south-| east to northwest. At the height of the blaze, thick yellow smoke billowed hundreds of feet into the air, blotting out brilliant sun- shine and leaving the scene below in dusk-like darkness. Raizenne, still at the scene of Jobless OTTAWA (CP)--Canadian un- employment in mid-April stood at 403,000--six per cent of the labor force, the bureau of sta- tistics estimated today.

Pointing to the 'black, water- soaked shell of the apartment and store, Mr. Zygmont spoke of the thousands of dollars he has spent in renovations. Iq his own apartment, $5,000 had been invested in . cupboards alone and $50,000 had been spent in the past two years te improve all other apartments, KNEE-DEEP WATER Thousands of gallons of water were poured into the bujidi and water streamed down rd ways for several blocks south and west. Chief Hobbs said water in the basement was knee-deep at one time. Chief Hobbs criticized what he termed "sidewalk firemen.' He explained that these are the people who think they kitw best how to fight a fire and give "all sorts of advice -- But wouldn't lift a finger to help a fireman roll out a heavy hose." : One tenant, Ken McDonald, had only g sackful of silver collars after the fire. It is be- lieved he had no insurance, The Bradley family fell inte this same category and lost four rooms of new furniture.
