Kaka Point Bucket Brigade

Details

DescriptionThis image shows the bucket brigade which formed when a bush fire began at Kaka Point in March 1910.

Several buildings were destroyed including three houses including that of Mr F Helps, Dunedin, Algie Brothers, and Dr Fitzgerald, Kaitangata. Messrs G and J Smith's 12-roomed house caught fire two or three times, but the flames were extinguished. A stabling belonging to Messr Smith was destroyed. A change in wind prevented further damage with goods and effects hurriedly removed from McGuffog's store and post office. PhotographerUnknown Date1910Location^[1]RightsThis image is out of copyright.
