An insurance assessor checks out the damage to the Mangawhero Terrace, Ohakune house which was extensively damaged by a spectacular fire last Thursday evening. The probable cause of the fire was an electrical wire, damaged after being pinched between timbers. The seat of the fire was above the pantry. Framing timber and liner in a storage area along the back of the house was damaged by fire, with most of the other damage being from smoke. The occupants of the house at the time, Alison Anderson and her two sons escaped unharmed. Mrs Anderson praised the brigade and the many people who came to her aid in removing furniture and possessions from the house before being damaged.
