Called away
The protection of the public’s property took precedence over the administration of public affairs for a member of the Rangiora Borough Council on Thursday evening. Cr B. R. Hassall, who is also a member of the Rangiora Volunteer Fire Brigade, was at the council’s monthly meeting when the fire siren sounded. With dignified haste, Cr Hassall excused himself from the meeting, and left for the first station. The first engine, however did not leave the station, as the fire had been put out in the meantime —the alarm having sounded for a chimney fire at Flaxton.
