House Fire

The Nelson Fire Brigade made a wonderful save when it was called to a fire in a house occupied by Mr and Mrs J. Y. Wilson, Tasman street. A fierce wind had fanned the flames up through the roof of the two-storey building when the brigade arrived, but it was quickly brought under control. Water and smoke caused the greatest damage.
