The building and its contents were well . ablaze by the time engines from Sock-
burn and the Lincoln Volunteer Fire Brigade arrived, and there was little firemen could do. The shed had been leased by a Wanganui-based company, Aitchison Industries, Ltd. It contained about $60,000 worth of the company’s farm machinery, including a chisel plough, spray tanks, and a fertiliser spreader.
