We’d like to say a huge THANKYOU to all the crews from across the area who helped us contain and extinguish this fire.

It was initially a troublesome one to get under control, but through teamwork, determination, and long hours, we got there in the end. Crews didn’t make it home until 2am, and even then the fire was still burning strongly — something that’s not normally seen at that stage.

Thankfully, the beautiful rain has now helped with the final extinguishing.

We’re incredibly grateful for the dedication and support shown by everyone involved. Stay safe, and thank you again to all who played a part.

We are looking for volunteers so if you would like to be a part of the fire service please message us.
