Fire Calls
A shed containing a quantity of hay in Marlowe Street, Stoke, was badly damaged by a fire early last month. The Stoke brigade was on the scene late in the day and had the fire well contained by the time the town unit arrived.
All that remains of a timber mill owned by the Pakawau Timber Co at Annesbrook and leased to Timber Distributors after an early-morning fire. About £10,000 worth of damage was done.
