Approximately 6pm last night, Fire and Rescue NSW Station 376 Merewether and Fire and Rescue NSW Station 357 Lambton were turned out to a house fire in Narrara Rd, Adamstown.

Our crew arrived a short time later and located a single story house totally involved in fire with houses either side under threat by the blaze.

Additional resources were tasked from Fire and Rescue NSW Station 255 Charlestown and our friends at NSW Ambulance and NSW Police Force.

The incident took approximately 30 Firefighters 4 hours to extinguish.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by NSW Police Force and Fire and Rescue NSW Fire investigation and Research unit.

Anyone with information surrounding the fire is urged to contact crime stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Fire protection in our region has been bolstered with the arrival of a new bushfire tanker at Fire and Rescue NSW station 500 Tingira Heights

The Isuzu Category One tanker, valued at $450,000, is the latest of the 34 new appliances funded by the NSW Government, in line with the recommendations of the 2019/20 Black Summer bushfires.

It is a multi-purpose, off-road capable truck that can carry more water than typical urban fire tankers.

One of its impressive features is its ‘Halo’ cabin protection spray system. If threatened by a wall of flames during a bushfire, the crew could activate a 360 degree curtain of water, preventing the truck’s cabin from catching fire.

The design of this tanker allows the crew to direct a nozzle on the front of the truck onto a fire, from the safety of the cabin, using a remote control.
