The ground floor of the building was a paper shop and the upper stories were occupied as dweil- ings. On the arrival of the Fire Brigade, under Assistant Superintendent Capt. Lyons, the fire had a firm hold on the building, so they confined their energies to prevent it spreading. The roof collapsed and carried in its fall the second and third floors The first floor, though covered with a mass of debris, was still standing in the forenoon.
