The photo captures a dramatic nighttime scene where a fire is raging through several wooden structures, likely outhouses or small buildings, amidst a snowy landscape. The fire is intense, with large flames and billowing smoke illuminating the dark surroundings. Silhouetted against the fire are numerous people, some standing, others walking towards the fire, observing the scene. The contrast between the bright fire and the dark figures, along with the snow-covered ground, creates a stark, almost surreal image.
On this day in 1966, the community of Bowsman, Manitoba held a parade of outhouses through the streets.
Then they burned the outhouses in a giant bonfire to celebrate the arrival of indoor plumbing.
This is the story of The Biffy Burn :)
