On the evening of December 12, 1942, hundreds of WWII soldiers and local residents gathered at the Knights of Columbus Hostel on Harvey Road for Uncle Tim’s Barn Dance, a live music show that was being aired on VOCM.
Soon after 11:00 p.m., someone shouted “Fire!” and radio listeners at home were horrified to hear the chaos and screams until the broadcast suddenly went silent.
Ninety-nine people died in the conflagration, which many believed to have been caused by wartime sabotage. It was discovered that the doors opened inwards, and couldn’t be opened with the crush of people against them, contributing to the high death toll.
A vigil is held each year at the K of C memorial on Harvey Road.
