The neighbours were quickly on the spot, but could do nothing to quench the fire, and but little in the way of saving any furniture. The Shortland Fire Brigade mustered quickly, but their services were confined to preventing the fire from catching the next buildings. „ . , Many of the Grahamstown Fire Brigade also came with the engine. ; The fire is said to have originated m the sitting-room on the lower storey, near the fire-place, where there had been a fire before the family retired to bed. The premises were not insured
