Kia ora everyone welcome back to my blog today we are learning about the Ballantynes fire, I hope you enjoy!!
I think this is about a fire in the Ballantynes store
I want to find out what has caused this fire and I want to find out how long it took to put it out. did the building burn down
1.People were served by waitresses in aprons and caps, expensive clothes were sold and ladies wore gloves and hats
2. Christchurch
3.November 18th, 1947 at 3.46pm
4.They had no smoke alarms or evacuation plans. downstairs workers thought it was just a small cellar fire so didn't tell the people downstairs
5.41 workers died in the fire, Two people jumped from the verandah and were unconscious but recovered
6.No smoking inside the building, dont just walk past fire and not tell others, they now have smoke alarms, have an evaluation plan.
The fire started about 4 in the afternoon
Army and air force helped the fireman
They pumped water for 4 hours from 36 hoses
