FIRE “IN BEDDING IN HOTEL PORTER’S ROOM
An outbreak of fire occurred about 1.30 this morning in the mattress of a bed in a room occupied by a porter in the staff quarters at the rear of Revington’s Hotel. The porter, who awakened after about two hours’ sleep, to find the room full of smoke, managed to quit the room in a dazed condition just before the alarm was sounded.
The bedding was burning strongly when the Greymouth and Cobden fire brigades arrived, but the outbreak was quickly quelled by the use of a garden hose kept on the premises for fire-fighting purposes. The damage was confined to the mattresses on two beds in the room and to bedding.
