England From England...

Extinguishing last of the smouldering timbers, England Street this morning
Our Brigade's S.O. Chris England in familiar territory!

Today's house fire was in one of the older parts of Auckland, Freemans Bay, where hundred-year-old-plus Kauri-timbered bungalows line the streets, some built very close together. So it was a good save by firefighters to keep the flames from spreading from the blazing house to the neighbour's, no more than a metre apart. The front of the house. recently renovated, was gutted. Members closed England Street during firefighting operations. Given the name of the street, it was entirely appropriate that Station Officer Chris England led our team at the scene!
