🚨House Fire🚨

At 2:56 am on Wednesday the 28th of October, Fire and Rescue NSW received multiple triple zero calls (000) to a unit alight in a Wagga suburb.

Upon leaving the station, a large smoke plume could be seen from the engine bay.

First arriving crews discovered a single storey unit complex with the middle unit totally involved in fire. Crews immediately got to work with an offensive internal attack to extinguish the fire.

Additional crews made entry into the adjoining units to ensure there were no occupants and to prevent fire spread. Thankfully, the occupants were alerted by working smoke alarms and were able to safely evacuate.

After the fire was under control, overhaul operations commenced to ensure full extinguishment.

This is a timely reminder that working smoke alarms save lives.

🚨House Fire🚨

Just before midnight on Friday, 23rd of October, P472, CT472 and P322 were assigned to a house fire in the township of Uranquinty to assist NSW Rural Fire Service

As crews entered the town, they observed a large smoke plume and orange glow in the distance.

On arrival, crews were faced with a large single story premise with heavy smoke and fire issuing from the roof.

Our crews immediately got to work and entered the premises with an internal attack to knock down the fire. Working through low visibility and heavy fire, they were able to successfully make their way through the premises and extinguish the bulk of the blaze.

Overhaul work commenced a short time later to extinguish remaining hot spots. Thankfully, the four occupants of the house managed to escape and were taken to hospital for minor smoke inhalation.

The house sustained major fire smoke and water damage.

🚨House Fire🚨

Shortly after midnight, on Thursday, 22nd of October, Fire and Rescue NSW received multiple triple zero calls (000) to a house alight in Ashmont.

Upon arrival, crews observed a large smoked plume and orange glow in the distance. This prompted a significant response, including 4 fire trucks and hazmat van.

On arrival, crews were faced with a single story house well alight, with the roof already collapsed. Crews immediately got to work with defensive firefighting operations, as it was too unsafe to enter the premises.

After a difficult firefight, the blaze was brought under control, and overhaul operations began to ensure complete extinguishment. 

Fortunately, the home was unoccupied at the time and there were no injuries.

Today D platoon were out and about making the most of the sunny conditions with a draughting drill at Lake Albert. ⛅️

The crew operated our aerial appliance, utilising a large diameter draughting hose to collect a significant volume of water for pumping. ⚙️

This method of pumping allows the appliance to pump water at a rate of 5000 litres per minute. 💦

Regular training like this ensures our crew remain familiar with our equipment and maintain the skills needed to respond when our community needs us most. 🚒👨‍🚒

🚨Building Fire 🚨

This evening at 6:20 pm, Fire and Rescue NSW received multiple triple zero calls (000) reporting smoke issuing from a large abandoned commercial premises called The Murrumbidgee Mill.

Given the building’s considerable size, a substantial number of resources were assigned upon arrival.

On arrival, crews discovered smoke issuing from the ground floor left hand side of the building. They immediately gained entry and found a below ground pit filled with rubbish and other materials that was alight.

After a short while, the fire was brought under control and crews began searching the premises to ensure no one was inside.

Fortunately, no one was found inside and there were no injuries.

The aerial ladder was raised, to provided lighting from above to helping firefighters navigate around the incident. This is an example of how the ladder can be utilised for many different applications.

🚨Building fire🚨

At 3:40am, on Thursday morning, Fire and Rescue NSW received a triple zero call (000) to Wagga Bar alight in Baylis Street.

Before arrival, crews noticed a large amount of smoke and red glow in the distance, prompting the addition of more resources.

On arrival, crews were faced with a large commercial single story building well alight, threatening two adjoining premises.

Working immediately commenced with hand lines to prevent spread, and the aerial ladder was raised to help extinguish the fire from above.

After approximately 30 minutes, the roof of the building collapsed, this proved difficult for ground crews as they were forced to fight the fire externally.

The use of the aerial ladder was very effective, reaching areas that crews were not able to access due to the roof collapse.

After several hours of firefighting operations, the fire was extinguished and handed over to police.

Thankfully, all buildings were unoccupied and there were no injuries.
