Watch your butts: Saskatoon fire investigator says discarded cigarette started $200K apartment blaze

A Saskatoon investigator says an apartment fire in the Fairhaven neighbourhood early Tuesday morning was caused by an improperly discarded cigarette butt. Multiple 911 calls came in just after 3:30 a.m. on Aug. 19 to report a fire in an apartment building in the 400 block of Fairmont Drive, the Saskatoon Fire Department said in a news release. Firefighters saw flames rising from a second-floor apartment in the three-storey building when they arrived on scene minutes later. Crews soon had to call in a fourth fire engine for support, as flames began moving toward the roof and attic space, the fire department said. By about 4:24 a.m., firefighters had the situation under control, and the flames were fully snuffed out about 10 minutes later. No one was injured in the incident. The fire department says two suites sustained fire damage, with four people displaced and rehomed by the property owner. All other residents will be able to return to their apartments once the alarms are serviced, the fire department says. An investigator examined the scene and determined the fire started on a balcony from improperly disposed smoking material. Saskatoon apartment fire (Courtesy: Saskatoon Fire Department) 'Saskatoon Fire Department wants to remind everyone to use an appropriate receptacle to discard cigarette butts such as a sealed jar with water inside,' the department said in a news release. 'Ashtrays, plastic containers and metal cans are known to catch fire, melt or allow butts to be blown out and start combustible material on fire.' The cost of the damages caused by the fire is estimated to total $200,000.

Woman, 17, killed in Fairhaven 3-car crash. What we know

A Fairhaven teenager has died in a multiple-vehicle crash on Route 6. According to the Bristol County District Attorney's Office, Fairhaven police and EMS and Massachusetts State Police reported to the scene of a crash at Route 6 and Jeannette Street shortly before 9:30 p.m. on July 5. There, police found a 2009 silver Nissan Sentra in the eastbound side of Route 6 facing west with 'catastrophic front-end damage,' the DA's office stated. The Sentra's driver, a 17-year-old woman from Fairhaven, was pronounced dead at the scene. A 2021 black Ford F-250 was at the scene with heavy front-end damage, on the westbound side of the road lying on its side. The Ford's occupants, a man and woman in their 20s, were hospitalized with minor injuries. A 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 sustained minor front-end damage; its two occupants were not hurt. The DA's office said the incident is under investigation. This article originally appeared on Standard-Times: Driver, 17, killed in Fairhaven three-vehicle car crash

National Trust explores mid-20th century Savile Row tailoring in new exhibit

The National Trust has opened a unique fashion exhibition dedicated to menswear at Anglesey Abbey in Cambridgeshire, exploring Savile Row flair of 1930s aristocrats. The 'Tailoring an Image' exhibition runs until October 31 and showcases the sartorial flair of Lord Fairhaven, owner of Anglesey, including an unusual wine-coloured velvet smoking suit from H. Huntsman & Sons, Savile Row from 1962. 'Tailoring an Image' exhibition at Anglesey Abbey, National Trust Credits: National Trust by Mike Selby Lord Fairhaven was known as a stylish dresser, regularly featuring in society magazines in the 1930s, and when he left the property and its collections to the National Trust on his death in 1966, it included his wardrobe featuring morning, day and evening wear. Roisin Semple, property curator at Anglesey Abbey, said in a statement: 'Lord Fairhaven's extensive wardrobe is a rare example of a 20th-century menswear collection that remains in the original setting of its owner's home. 'Unlike most museum fashion collections – often dominated by women's clothing and detached from their original context – this collection offers an opportunity to learn more about the garments and the man who wore them.' 'Tailoring an Image' exhibition at Anglesey Abbey, National Trust Credits: National Trust by Mike Selby Lord Fairhaven's Savile Row wardrobe goes on display at Anglesey Abbey The exhibition space has been transformed into a Saville Row workshop and features menswear items by H. Huntsman & Sons, which were specially made for Lord Fairhaven, alongside Bates Gentlemen's Hatter and bespoke London shoemaker, Henry Maxwell, including a blue velvet smoking suit and colourful cropped riding breeches, from cherry-red to inky blue, made from soft sheepskin, goatskin or buckskin leather in the 1950s. 'Tailoring an Image' exhibition at Anglesey Abbey, National Trust Credits: National Trust by Mike Selby Semple added: 'There are 16 pairs of different coloured cropped riding breeches, including a bright red pair, in the collection, and most were made in the 1950s. It is unclear where the idea came from, but the choice was presumably motivated by the durability, comfort and control they gave Fairhaven in the saddle. The length, colour and material make the style unique to him.' National Trust has also commissioned a film as part of the exhibit delving deeper into the world of bespoke, which gives visitors an insight into the Huntsman workshop. The display also features original ledgers showing some of Lord Fairhaven's clothing orders, a saddle horse that customers would sit on to be measured for their riding clothes, and a sample book of fabric swatches.
