Produced by Jim Austin, this is a video about the 1911 Great Fire of Eganville, supposedly started by 2 or 3 boys smoking cigarettes and playing cards in a warehouse.

Very good video! You didn't mention any lives lost, which seems incredible when you consider how fast the fire moved and how much in consumed.
