Appreciation for quick action to quell Forbesdale fire
Sir, sincere appreciation and thanks are extended to those who aided in quelling the Forbesdale school fire on Tuesday.

Firefighters remained at posts overnight to treat smouldering fragments, with morning inspection reporting complete success. The sergeant’s suggestion of forming a voluntary firefighting group in the locality is sound emergency advice.
