*Notes: The title comes from a town in Ontario, originally “Rettie’s Crossing”, which suffered a disastrous fire sometime in the 1920s. According to this Wikipedia article, “there was a gas station located in the centre of the village. A gentleman arriving in his Model T Ford smashed into the gravity-fed gas pumps and severed the lines connected to the above-ground gasoline storage tank. The gasoline was almost immediately ignited, and flowed like a river, down the main street engulfing everything it touched, until it poured into and spread across the fast-moving river.
“According to local legend, there were 18 miles of “Burnt River” stretching to Cameron Lake. Shortly after this, the Post Office changed its name to “Burnt River.” ”
