Crews were mobilised by Fire Control to reports of a fire in a domestic property at the above location.
On arrival, the Incident Commander confirmed that there was a fire in the first floor bedroom involving electrics and quickly got crews to work to tackle the fire using breathing apparatus, hose reel jets, a safety jet, thermal imaging cameras, a short extension ladder and a positive pressure ventilation fan.
The fire, which was believed to have started accidentally, completely destroyed the bedroom of origin and caused some fire and smoke damage to other parts of the property.
