Mr Roger Chaplin puts the final touches to the painting which will appear on the front cover of “Always Ready,” a book to be published by the Christchurch division of the New Zealand Fire Service to mark its 125th anniversary in November. Mr Chaplin, who is also a well-known Christchurch potter, is a senior fireman at the central fire station in Kilmore Street. The appliance in the painting, a 1938 Dennis, was Number One, the pride of the Christchurch fleet, before it was retired to the Fire Service Historical Society’s museum at Ferrymead in 1971. The engine was driven to Cathedral Square by Mr George Thompson, who used to drive it when he served in the Christchurch Brigade. — Photograph by DAVID ALEXANDER
