FIRE BRIGADE BUSY
FIVE CALLS ANSWERED MOTOR-CAR BADLY DAMAGED The City Fire Brigade was kept busy early last evening, four calls being received in less than two hours. At 6.45 p.m. the brigade answered a call to Park Road, where an electric cable fused on the footpath outside the main entrance to the Auckland Hospital. The blaze was quicklv extinguished. A call to a grass fire in Richmond Avenue, Grey Lynn, was received at 7.43. the flames soon being suppressed. TVhile one engine was absent at this fire, another call was received to the Kauri Timber Company’s premises in Fanshawe Street, Freeman’s Bay, but it proved to be a false alarm. A five-seater car owned by Mr. F. Milhan caught fire in Virginia Avenue, Eden Terrace, at 8.25 p.m., and the body was badly damaged before the brigade suppressed the blaze. The car was not covered by insurance. At 8.25 a.m. to-day a seven-seater motor-car, owned by Mr. C. Henderson. caught, fire through the engine backfiring, but the damage was confined to the wiring.
