Pupils of Pear Tree School, Nantwich, they

Nantwich fire service advised
that the flame would be best extinguished when there was no one responsible in
the vicinity of it. So Nantwich in Bloom Chairman, Doug Butterill, used his
patented flame snuffer - fashioned from a wood saw. He is assisted by
Nantwich in Bloom's Secretary, Sue Hughes. |
