| Event: | 25 Sep 1925 | Fire at Charles Donald\'s sample room |
| At about 7.30 pm on the 25th inst., a fire broke out in the sample rooms of Mr C. Donald, of Ranfurly, boarding house keeper and butcher. The sample room was occupied by a traveller showing stock and it is thought that a lamp was left burning in his absence and the fierce wind that was blowing at the time caused the lamp to flare up and ignite some of the material close by. Smoke was noticed by Miss Wilkinson, housemaid, and the alarm given, but the strong wind fanned the flames and soon got a strong hold. From the sample rooms it spread to the butcher shop which was close to the sample room and it was not long before the both places were burnt to the ground. The boarding house was threatened at one stage, but willing workers with buckets of water from the railway tank saved the back part from catching lire. Mr Donald has suffered a big loss, the butcher shop only being built a few months ago. Besides losing the buildings, other stock stored inside was also lost. It is also stated that the traveller (Mr McRobie, of Sargood, Son and Ewen) that occupied the sample room at the time lost a considerable amount of stock. [Mount Ida Chronicle 2 Oct 1925] | ||
