Twenty. Houses Gutted and Five Damaged Having attended several fires in succession during the past few days, Yangtszepoo firemen were given no respite yesterday, when they were called out again to fight a blaze about 200 yards north of Tengyueh Road.
The alarm was received shortly before 130 p.m. yesterday, when flames were raging in a row of Chinese country-style houses. Soon after their arrival firemen succeeded in preventing the fire from spreading. Twenty houses were, however, gutted and five were slightly damaged. The blaze was extinguished after about two hours, work.
