    A stranded raccoon

    Here is an excerpt from an eyewitness news report, “There’s a fire raging in a pile of 14 million scrap tires near Hagersville, Ont. Arson has been suggested as a cause, but right now firefighters are concentrating on containing the flames and toxic smoke – and rescuing a stranded raccoon. The CBC’s Lorne Matalon says the town has not yet been evacuated, but that could change with the wind direction.”
