Benefit concert after fire in Dargaville

5:37 pm on 21 January 2009

People in Dargaville will band together at a benefit concert next Friday to help businesses destroyed in a fire earlier this month.

Five businesses on the main street were lost in a blaze that took two hours to control.

Asbestos has now been cleared from the site and one lane of the street is open again to traffic.

Kaipara District Mayor Neil Tiller says money from the concert will probably go to affected employees.
