Ballantynes Fire was 18th November 1947
The Ballantynes fire in Christchurch, caused considerable loss of life. Part cause of this was that the early finders of the fire, notified the fire brigade that it was a small fire and that they would deal with it themselves. So the brigade did not turn up immediately in spite of the fire alarms going. There was a Royal Commission enquiry into the events, and part of the results was that the brigade will always turn up, despite casual counter assurances.
