PLANS MADE TO OVERHAUL FIRE ENGINE
An approval of £1125 for the estimates for the coming year will include the complete overhaul of the fire engine it was stated at the annual meeting of the Whakatane Fire Board on Wednesday night. This was now necessary and had been planned for some time. Some discussion centred on the proposed new station which is to be built on a double frontage section in Commerce Street facing the Domain Road intersection. Several plans were considered but it was decided to have plans prepared by an architect for a station which would suit Whakatane. The building is to be gone ahead with as soon as possible. The agreement between the Board and the Whakatane Board Mills for the brigade to attend a fire at the mill if necessary was renewed. A similar agreement was advised the Te Puke Urban Fire Authority, which wrote asking for advice about the IYZ radio transmitter at Paengaroa. The Authority had been approached by the broadcasting authorities asking for the brigade to attend the transmitter in the case of a fire. «
