Fires Sweep Two Buildings in Timaru and Christchurch
In Timaru a large house near Geraldine was destroyed by fire at 11 o clock. The outbreak was blamed on a fire in washing operations and hose length hampered the response. Owner T O Daly and occupier Fred Glasson faced heavy losses with insured values of £225 and £50 respectively. In Christchurch, a Sunday morning blaze at an eight room boarding house on Stafford and Madras streets forced residents to flee in night attire. One man sustained minor injuries from a jump from a top window. Fire destroyed the Madras Street building, owned by Mr Moffat and insured for £640, with furniture insured for £260 belonging to Mrs Trendall.
