Mover hurt during trailer fire (August 01, 2002)
VANIER, Ont. – A mover was taken to the hospital when backdraft from a trailer fire caused a door to fly open into his face.
The complete household belongings of two separate families caught fire in a moving trailer near Vanier, Ont.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but officials say the blaze caused $110,000 in damage.
Given the nature of the blaze, some suspect the contents of the trailer caused it to burst into flames, injuring the innocent trucker. The mover was trying to unlock the trailer when the incident took place. The individual’s name was not available at press time.
