Old Homestead Destroyed at The Grove
Fire swept the 40 year old The Grove homestead at Forbes Road Grenfell as a high wind raged. Duncan Simpson and family were away on holiday. The Grenfell fire brigade fought the blaze with help to save sheds and paddocks. Most contents burned except some beds and the lounge. Neighbors aided as a dam-fed pump supplied water. The house was uninsured and the community expressed sympathy.
