There was an alarm of fire on Saturday evening about 6.13, when a house on the Buller Road occupied by Air McCormack, was completely gutted.- The fire brigade were quickly upon the scene, but the fire had q »i"c a good hold, and all that could be done was to stop the fire from spreading to the adjoining buildings. It was caused through a child about five years of age accidentally dropping a light in ■ i room while the parents were absent.
