Disaster

Atlantic #3 blew wild from March 8 - September 9, 1948"Devon was a town gone mad. The fire (burnt for three days) was clearly visible from Edmonton twenty miles away.

"The women folk fearfully asked themselves if they should make ready to leave...there was also the threat of an explosion which would rival the power of an atomic bomb."

- Mrs. V. Hunter
