Fire appliances arrived at a property with smoke issuing from the garage. Crews got to work with 2 breathing apparatus, 1 hose reel jet and a thermal imaging camera to put the fire out. Small tools were also used, followed by positive pressure ventilation for smoke clearance.
The fire was caused accidentally by hot coals catching combustible materials. The garage and adjoining property above were damaged in the fire. Duty of care was left with the occupants.
