EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION.
Yesterday (Friday) mornino:, at the early hour of two
o clock the neighbourhood of High street, Deptford, analits immediate vicinity, was aroused from its usual
quietude, by the outbreak of a most disastrous fire upon
the premises in the occupancy of Mr. Parks, butcher,
situate at No. 12, Flagon• row, within a short distance of the
Deptford railway station. The building contained only
six rooms, but it extended backwards a considerable
distance, and was closely bounded on either side by shops
and dwellings. The issue of a great sheet of flames•from
the kitchens, over the roof, caused some of the neighbours
to make the alarming discovery. At that time Mr. and
Mrs. Parks, with a female domestic, were in their beds
asleep, and nearly ten minutes were lost in snaking them
fully sensible of the great danger to which they were
exposed. After repeated knockings at the street-door,
they at last made their appearance at the front window ;
a ladder was procured from the public-house opposite,
and with assistance the inmates all effected their escape,
and without meeting with any personal injury. The
intelligence having been sent to her Majesty's dock-yard,
with all speed, Mr. Inspector Field started to the spot
with one of the engines belonging to that establishment.
Its efficacy, however, was greatly retarded in conse-
quence of no water being procurable from the mains.
During the time lost in waiting for water the fire con-
'tinned to spread with more than usual rapidity, and in
less than half an hour from its first discovery, it had
travelled through every portion of the premises, and
had communicated to the houses on each side. The scene
then became one of painful excitement. The roofs and
first floors of Nos. 13 and 11, occupied respectively by
'Mr. Turner, tailor, and Mr. Nelson, chesenionger, were,
I;iiiiiing --away most furiously, whilst the inmates were
busily engaged below in their night-dresses removing
what little of their property they could lay their hands
upon. The fire still progressing, a mounted police con-
stable was dispatched to town, requesting the aid of the
London engines. Immediately upon the intelligence
reaching Southwark-bridge station, Mr. Henderson, one
of the chief officers of the London Brigade, proceeded to
the scene with his engines, and was followed by Mr.
Connorton, with the engine and firemen belonging to
the West of England Company. Before water could Le
obtained from the mains the fire had made such ravagcs
that Mr. Parks' premises were all but consumed, and
the heat was so great, that at one time it was greatly
feared the whole row of buildings on the opposite side
of the road would become ignited. To keep them cool
water was frequently discharged against them. After
the lapse of about an hour water began to flow from the
Kent Water Company's pipes, from which the Dockyard
engine was set to work, and with the aid of the police and
firemen the flames were, at half-past four o'clock, mas-
'tered, and in the course of another half hour or so they
were completely extinguished. The total damage is
very considerable, and is fully detailed in the subjoined
certified report, as sent to Mr. Braidwood, the Superin-
tendent of the Fire Brigade.
