Millington and occupied by Mr Curtis, was burned to the ground. On Saturday, while Mr H. Hunt and his family, of Whangarei, were at the pictures, their five-roomed residence caught fire, and in the absence o£ a water service it was reduced to ashes. The family lost everything, and two pet dogs, which were in the building, were burned to death.
