ONE of the busiest' men m Christ- . church m recent weeks-;, has been : Charlie Warner, superintendent of the City Fire Brigade; on whom has fallen, the responsibility" of checking the handiwork of the incendiarists. Warner has adopted flre fighting'as a business since the beginning of the pYesent century, and for seventeen years past has kept a weather eye on the congested city areas where incipient fire is likely to offer his team of fighters stern 'opposition. , . The healthy salvage record. standing to the credit of the Christchurcli brigade, speaks volumes for' Warner's keen perception of the modern methods of fire suppression.
