Property fire

Fire control received a report of a possible fire within a flat with possibly somebody still within the property. 5 fire engines and an aerial ladder platform were immediately sent.

On arrival crews confirmed this was a second storey flat well alight. One occupant had been rescued before our arrival and was being attended to by Paramedics on scene.

Crews used the following to extinguish the fire:

• 5 breathing apparatus
• 2 hose reel jets
• 1 safety jet
• 1 thermal image camera
• 1 gas monitor
• smoke clearance fan

There was 50 per cent fire, smoke and heat damage to the flat and the cause was accidental.
