A huge plume of smoke filling the early afternoon sky, had the fire brigade out on masse to a section on the corner of Aberdeen and Lytton Roads.
Although the pall suggested something more disastrous, the smoke was billowing voluminously from an aging shed. Picture was taken as fire was coming under control, shows power board linesman disconnecting power feeders.
