I was sorry to see news of the fire at my old school yesterday, in the very building in which I learned my Technical Drawing and decided to become an architect (left). Very sad. But how badly was it damaged, I wondered?

No one was hurt and the fire was soon extinguished. The deputy chief fire officer for Auckland east, Roger Callister, said fire damage was contained to two classrooms. He said the building had no sprinklers and firefighters had trouble getting a good water supply until fire trucks began pumping water from the street.
