EXTENSIVE DAMAGE
FIRE AT TECHNICAL SCHOOL. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Pukekohc, December 3. A fire damaged the forge and metal work-room of the Pukekohe Technical High School this morning.' Smoke was seen issuing from the building at 6 o’clock, but no notice was taken of it, as it was believed that the fires were being, lit for the' day’s work. Flames broke out at 8.20, and the brigade arrived but, due to a blocked ball cock in the main, the water was not available for fully five minutes. When, however, the supply was available, the flames were quickly subdued. Half of the building was extensively damaged, and it is not known yet whether the valuable machinery, damaged by heat, is beyond use. /
