Original Toronto Star caption: Dense Smoke billows out of Postal Terminal A at Bay and Front Sts. today in a three-alarm fire that roared for more than three hours and destroyed thousands of pieces of mail destined for other parts of Canada. About 60 workmen wee in the terminal; but on a coffee break; when a cleaner reportedly discovered the fire. They raced out so quickly that many left their coats behind. No one was injured.
