LARGE BUILDING SAVED
OUTBREAK OF FIRE AT TIMARU From Our Own Reporter TIMARU, November 7. A brilliant save was made by* units of the Timaru Fire Brigade, when the furniture warehouse of Beath and Company, Ltd., George street, Timaru, quickly blazed up a few minutes before midnight this evening. The flames quickly caught hold in the lumber room and had a strong hold when the brigade arrived. The flames swept through the back windows of Beath and Company into the furniture warehouse of M. C. Butterfield. The brigade quickly put out the flames and saved much furniture from damage. The fire was in a closely built up area. Damage amounting to about £2OO was caused by the fire.
