Original Toronto Star caption: Sitting down on the job. Fireman had to keep low to avoid the thick; acrid smoke from a blaze in the parts warehouse of a Mississauga auto company yesterday. No one was in the single-storey brick building at the corner of Wharton Way and Wharton Glen Ave. when fire broke out and there was no estimate of damage. Two walls collapsed after firemen arrived and it took 1 1/2 hours to control the flames.
