This statue is on the Haileybury waterfront, my hometown in memory of the Great fire of 1922 when citizens had to take refuge in the lake. This stature is a man passing a child to the mother waiting in the water!
On October 4, 1922, scattered bush fires which had been burning for some days north of Haileybury were united by strong winds into a holocaust which spread over most of 18 townships and took an estimated 43 lives.
