Superintendent Anthony Hojel has commended the efforts of attending crews
On arrival, crews were confronted with a home that was well alight and immediately commenced extinguishing the fire.
Region West Zone Commander, Superintendent Anthony Hojel has commended the efforts of attending crews.
“While unfortunately this home was completely destroyed, our firefighters were able to stop it from spreading to neighboring properties,” said Superintendent Anthony Hojel, adding “This is a timely reminder for residents to make sure they have at least one working smoke alarm in their home.”
Importance of working smoke alarms at homes
Anthony Hojel continues, “We can’t smell smoke when we’re asleep, so a working smoke alarm could be the only thing that helps you get out if your house catches fire.”
There were no injuries reported and the home was unoccupied at the time of the fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation by NSW Police and FRNSW.
