CAR IN FLAME
CRASH INTO SHOP A PETONE THRILL Press Association WELLINGTON, Monday. A motor-car burst into flames at Petone on Saturday night while being driven along Jackson Street. The occupants jumped out and the car crashed through a verandah post into the plate-glass window of Pratey’s grocery shop. With assistance of residents it was pushed away and the fire extinguished with garden hoses and extinguishers. Some fault in the alarm system caused the brigade to go to the Gear Meat Works, and it did not arrive till later.
