YOUTHS QUELL OUTBREAK OF FIRE
But for the timely action of two young men, Messrs. Lusby and W. McFarland, another six-roomed house at Papatoetoe would have been destroyed by fire about two o’clock on Saturday. They saw smoke coming from the house and dashed inside and extinguished the blaze with buckets of water. The house was owned and occupied by Mr. G. Eade at the corner of Park Avenue and Station Road, Papatoetoe. .The young men found that the flames had started among some old clothes in the wash-house, which is attached to the house. Before the flames were extinguished the partition had been burned through. The house in which the outbreak occurred is next to the building which was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon.
