At 4.47 p.m. on Saturday both stations sent out machines to Mr William Shiel’s six-roomed wooden dwelling at 245 Macandrew road, and before the outbreak was extinguished about £lO damage was done. The second call was at 2.35 yesterday morning to Hangman’s Gully, where a three-seater Humber motor car, owned by English Motors Company, was destroyed through the engine backfiring.
