| 656253 | 2008-04-05 23:47:00 | That's really tragic . . . . my wife just read this too and asked how milk and cheese can explode . . . . At a loss myself, I can only assume it was the gas used for cooking or heating . . . like in the pasteurizing process . Let the rest of the world know what actually happened . I noticed too that the plant wasn't officially "working" . . . . so that kept the casualties to a minimum . Too bad about the firemen . . . they work so hard to just save people and possessions from immolation and accidents . . and they aren't even thought about until they are needed . Hopefully this is the only big fire NZ ever has . |

| 656255 | 2008-04-06 00:42:00 | The fireman that was killed was a popular member of another forum that I frequent where his best mate posted a very moving and sad tribute to him this morning . His mate is currently on annual leave otherwise he would have attended the same call-out . The fireman was due to start his own leave this coming week when the pair of them had activities planned together . He was 49 and leaves behind a wife and two-year-old daughter . :( |

| 656260 | 2008-04-12 01:16:00 | Some of the people on the other forum went to the service. One person said it was the funniest and longest funeral he had ever been to. He said he had never laughed so much at such a sombre time. Highlights of the funeral are available on TV3's website here (www.tv3.co.nz). |
