The Jones Odell Motor Bodies plant was not sprinklered, a deficiency that fire investigators say could have saved the business. It is one of the oldest and largest coach-building businesses in New Zealand.
Unfortunately for the Fire Brigade, Jones Odell was just a couple of weeks away from delivering a NZ$450,000 state-of-the-art mobile command vehicle to the Brigade. It was the first of 18 to be built for the national fire service.
The New Zealand Herald has the STORY.
TVone News has the story and a VIDEO.
