HEATER CAUSES FIRE
An immersion heater which was left, switched on was the cause of a fire which broke out shortly after 11 o'clock this morning in a two-stor!tyed wooden building containing flats at 42 Rawhiti Terrace, Kelburn. The heater, when it had boiled away the liquid in the. jug, broke the vessel, and the redhot metal came in contact with the table.on which it stood. Slight damage was done to the contents of. the' kitchenette, but the outbreak ..was extinguished by a bucket-pump on the arrival of the brigade, engines attending, from the Central and Northland stations. The occupier-of the flat was Mrs. A. Bannister, and the owner Mr. Ford, of Auckland.
