WARMER THAN ANTICIPATED
A car owner at Kliancjallah who did not want his engine to cool-too much as a result of the chilly temperatures last night, -found the engine ■at 9.40 pirn:' much warmer: than he had anticipated, and had to call the Fire Brigade. He had placed a sack directly
over the engine. By' some means tha sack had apparently caused a shortcircuit in one of the electric connections, and the.sack promptly caught alight, igniting ' oil and grease about the engine. The suburban, brigade ■■ very promptly answered the call,'and extinguished the blaze with chemicals. Fortunately the fire was discovered before the petrol tank had felt the /
heat, and but relatively, slight damaga was done. ' .
