Sutton drew attention to the excellent work of the Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade at the fire in Cunningham terrace on Friday. It was the first fire since the new Superintendent, Captain _R. Carson, had been appointed, and the Brigade showed a high state of efficiency in dealing with the outbreak. The motor, fully manned, had climbed the very steep grade of the Bridle Path in good time. Cr. McDonald said the quick arrival of the Brigade was also largely due to there being an alarm box handy. The newly installed alarm system had already proved its worth. The Scouts.
