Original Toronto Star caption: Unable to comprehend the full impact of the disaster that has struck her family and hundreds of others in Cobalt; three-year-old Janice Moore sits patiently in the ashes of her home waiting for her parents. She has found her toy horse that survived the fire that swept the northern Ontario town Monday and draws comfort from it. But little is recognizable to her; aside from that last toy.
