Property fire

Crews attended a domestic property fire which was well alight on arrival. All persons were accounted for, but pets were still in the building. Crews donned breathing apparatus and rescued two dogs and two cats from the property. Pet therapy masks were used to give oxygen to the animals. Crews put the fire out using two hose reel jets. Two positive pressure fans were used to clear the property of smoke. Paramedics also attended and treated 3 adults for smoke inhalation.

The cause of the fire was deliberate ignition. The property was severely damaged at the porch and front door, with the rest of the property sustaining smoke damage.
