LONDON, ONT. -- Due to give birth in three weeks, Maggie McPherson is now looking for housing after fire destroyed the residence where she's lived the past 11 years. "About five in the morning, I looked out the window and I saw flames just shooting across," recounts the nine-month pregnant McPherson who was up throughout the night after hearing commotion next door at 121 Bonaventure Dr. "If I reached my hand out I could pretty much touch the flames. I called 911 and then I heard a bang on the door with someone saying 'Get out! Get out right now! There is a fire.'"
