Fire control received multiple calls to report smoke and flames issuing at the given location.
On arrival the incident commander confirmed there to be a fire and got to work to extinguish it.
Within just a few minutes the crews had managed to extinguish the fire using one hose reel jet, and small tools and began ventilating the property using a positive pressure ventilation fan.
The fire was contained to an external wooden frame on a wall of the single storey commercial building which was believed to be a deliberate ignition.
