- In 1934 at Carnadre Creamery a terrible fire broke out in the night time about three o'clock. It happened by accident. It is said that a vast quantity of petrol was spilled near the store at the back of the Creamery. The manager whose house was a short distance from the Creamery, noticed the great light shining in on his bedroom window.
He arose quickly and spread the alarm in the neighbourhood. By the time assistance was available, the greater part of the entire building was consumed by the flames. All the useful, and most important articles were destroyed. A few articles were saved which were made of iron-ware, which the flames could not destroy. No one made any effort to save the furniture as the flames were too great and lives might be lost.
