Express and Echo: Saturday 15th April 1882

Fire at Kingsteignton: Yesterday afternoon a fire was discovered amongst some hay ricks, the property of Mr. Knowles, supposed to be set on fire by some boys. Assistance was soon procured, and the fire was got under by the time that the West of England engine arrived from Newton Abbot. The fire was discovered by Messrs. Pinsent and Lansdale, who happened to be passing in a vehicle at the time. The ricks were insured, and the damage done is considerable.
