Tonight in Mansfield the Pub opposite the CFA station has burned down :'(
Even with the best attention of 8 units its gone :'(
A Very sad night indeed
My first watering hole :-[ .
There used to be a serving hatch in the wall on Highett St where Bullock team drivers could pull up and replenish their supplies without loosing sight of their animals.
A sad day.
Hope no one got hurt, Got to feel for those now out of work, as if its not hard enough already in small communities, Sad too when a town looses an icon and all its history..
But on a bit lighter note, wasn't there a Swag meet in and around there recently, might have dried the pub out a bit too much !! .
Theres been a bit of history up around that region of pubs burning down in last several years.
If that's the Mansfield Hotel it had a big fire in 2010

Jewish stocktake ?
I will walk up a bit later and check again, but went to the Mansfield Coffee Merchant for breakfast this morning. Talked to a police officer I know, went to the Post Office and walked past the Delatite Hotel and the Mansfield Hotel and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

I haven't been able to find anything in the papers anywhere, not even the Mansfield Courier..
maybe the garbage bin out the back caught fire...
It's a bullShit rumor, the pub has NOT BURNT DOWN, there was a SMALL fire in a kitchen ? flue , so before spreading further crap rumors the op should get his facts correct and perhaps take the beer goggles off

Walked past both today and both were trading as usual. No sign of a fire at either.
