Destructive Strand Arcade Fire Strikes Auckland
A major blaze gutted the Strand Arcade in Queen Street Auckland destroying the four story building owned by Campbell Ehrenfried and Co. Over two hours of firefighting spared adjacent hotels and the Albert brewery. No deaths, several serious injuries among helpers. Damage estimated around £100000 with flames visible across miles. Fire started in Misses Waugh and Walker millinery shop and spread quickly through lift and stairs. Fire brigade led by Superintendent Woolley and Deputy-Superintendent Williams fought the inferno as crowds watched. A notable rescue by McPherson saved GH Crouth from a perilous position.
