House Fire – Tumblong – 28/10/26

Shortly before 8:30pm tonight, local emergency services were called to a reported house fire at Tumblong.

On arrival, crews found the homeowner and NSW Rural Fire Service had already extinguished the majority of the fire. Fire damage was contained to approximately a quarter of the home, with fire extending into the roof space.

FRNSW crews wearing breathing apparatus (BA) conducted an extensive search of the fire-damaged areas and worked to extinguish remaining hot spots to ensure the scene was safe.

Thankfully, all occupants were accounted for, with minor smoke inhalation reported.

A great effort by the homeowner and RFS crews in getting the fire under control before FRNSW arrived.
