The Telegram has learned some interesting information about what started a fire that burned out about 700 hectares of forest around 5 Wing Goose Bay, Labrador, beginning May 25.
The blaze had cut a path about five kilometres wide within a couple of hours.
Check out this story on the front page of The Weekend Telegram print edition.
Also on the front page this weekend … Hidden inside the pages of one volume of an eight-volume set of hardcover books in Ottawa are two old letters — both written in the fall of 1944 and referencing St. John’s resident James Joseph Picco.
An interesting mystery you don’t want to miss.
