Description: During the night of September 21, 1921, a spark from the burner set off this fire, which destroyed the last mill in Parry Sound. Boat houses nearby, with boats inside, burned, as did the grass up Belevedere Hill. After an hour and a half, rain started to fall, helping to extinguish the blaze.
