Well done to the neighbours. We experienced a similar reaction from neighbours in Arnold Street just after 7am Sunday. I am currently compiling a list of names, addresses and phone numbers of interested parties in Arnold Street - between Bishop and Scott - so that we can alert each other should anything be amiss. (Arnold Street is rather long so I am limiting it to one large block)
