Original Toronto Star caption: Smoke seen for miles at brougham fire. Dense black smoke could be seen for miles when fire broke out in a pile of old tires at the rear of the D. Scott and Sons building on Brock Rd. about a mile north of Brougham. The blaze began early yesterday afternoon; firemen brought it under control within an hour. A few automobiles also were damaged; officials were still estimating the loss today. The company repairs trucks and sells tires. In the mopping-up operation; firemen rake out and hose down burning debris.
