— By Telegraph — Copyright).
Christchurch, Friday. Damage amounting to £10,000 was eaused by a fire which gutted the bacon department of the Canterbury Frozen Meat Company's factory at Belfast early this morning. The fire, raging fiercely for over three hours, made a clean sweep of the centre block of the factory building, reduced the bacon curing packing and drying rooms to ruins. The volunteer brigade at the factory and the brigade from the central sta.tion at Christchurch combined forces in a strenuous fight. Although nothing could he done to save the bacon factory, they were successful in preventing the fire from spreading to other departments. The insurances on the building will cover the loss. The origin of the fire is unknown. The night- wa tchman visited the block at 2.35 a.m. and all was then in order, but twenty minutes later flames were observed in the roof.
