Black and white photograph used in St. Thomas Times-Journal article published October 20, 1975 with caption: "Did Its Job - Bill Bennett, an employee at A.J. Chev-Olds-Cadillac on Talbot Street looks at the charred inside of the building's main power panel which erupted into a brief, but small, fire late Saturday morning. Mr. Bennett said by the time the fire department arrived the flames had disappeared but the box was still smouldering. Mr. Bennett said the panel did its job in blowing, otherwise there may have been a more serious fire. The small fire did not affect business at the dealership this morning." (2)
