Cleary Street House Fire

7:50am 3/11/2016 - Alpha / Bravo called to house fire on Cleary St Hamilton. House was severely damaged by fire, smoke and heat. Crews tool about 2 hours to clear the house of heat and smoke before handing the site over to police. It appears the fire had been smouldering for sometime before taking hold. No smoke alarms were present to alert neighbours. It is NSW legislation that all homes have at least 1 operational smoke alarm per level.

Just after 10am this morning Lambton Fire Rescue NSW Alpha and Bravo were called to a house fire in Fourth Street Adamstown. Moments after leaving the station, large volumes of smoke where noticed in the reported area, and a second Alarm was called. Crews from 260 Newcastle, 376 Merewether, 255 Charlestown and Newcastle Duty Commander were assigned to the incident. On arrival crews determined a detached garage / workshop was fully involved in fire and was already threatening the house and neighbouring properties Quick actions from the crews knocked down the fire & prevented the fire from spreading to the house. No-one was injured but the garage was completely destroyed with roof collapse as well as the rear of the house was heavily damaged. It took 9 Fire Trucks and approx 30 fire fighters to fully extinguish the fire due to the heat and contents of the garage. Due to the damage, the cause of the fire was undetermined and the property returned to the owner. This is a timely reminder to keep your smoke alarms batteries checked and operational. #smokealarmssavelives Fire and Rescue NSW Newcastle Herald NBN Television
