Summary
A fire tore through a Kerikeri cafe right beside New Zealand’s oldest stone building and the Pioneer House — both miraculously spared thanks to quick firefighting. But the real story?

Court date: September 15. History’s guardians are breathing easier. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
