SUMMER WEATHER FIRES
The Fire Brigade continues to be kept busy with gorse' and grass fires. Yesterday it received ten calls to such fires in Ngaio, Khandallah, Wadestown, and Vogeltown between the hours of 9.30 a.m. and 6.30 p.m., and in addition it was summoned at 1.45 p.m. to 46 Ellice Street, where burning-off operations by a painter started a small fire that was extinguished before the brigade arrived, and at 4.53 p.m. to a motor-car on fire in Wakefield Street, only minor damage being done.
A call was received at 10.43 a.m. today to Barnard Street, Wadestown, where an area of three or four acres of gorse and fennel was on fire. The outbreak was easily extinguished, although the brigadesmen were occupied there for about an hour and a half.
