Rural Shed FireIssued: 28/4/2006On Tuesday 25th of April 2006 at 11pm crews from Kurri and Weston responded to a Rural Shed Alight Sawyers Gully Road, Sawyers Gully. On arrival crews found the 20m by 15m shed totally involved by fire and went immediately into defensive mode. Weston’s Pumper and Kurri’s Pumper and Tanker were first on scene with crews working quickly to ensure no other property was threatened.

The Newcastle HazMat Truck was also responded and gave BA crews additional Support. Crews worked extremely well together for over 2 hours to contain the blaze with no other property lost or injuries reported. The cause of the blaze is still being investigated.
