FIREMAN SUCCUMBS TO BURNS.
Auckland, Last Night. Following severe burns sustained through contact with blazing petrol during the height of the fire at Winstone’s oil store on Sunday, Ronald Beuth, engine-driver, at the Central Fire Brigade Station, died in the Auckland Hospital to-night. With two other firemen, he was endeavouring to bring a hose to bear on a wall of the building, when they were enveloped by debris and, flaming oil. Beuth, who joined the brigade in October, 1926, was a single man, aged 22. He had an excellent record and was very popular with fellow brigadesmen. Another fireman, Robert Walker, who was admitted to hospital suffering from painful burns to the face, is reported to be comfortable.
