🚨 HOUSE FIRE – TUMUT - 5/6/26

Shortly after 10:00pm last night, crews were paged to assist Tumut firefighters at a house fire within the Tumut township.

On arrival, firefighters from Tumut, Batlow, Gundagai and the NSW Rural Fire Service were confronted with a well-developed fire that had spread into the roof space.

Fortunately there was no body at the property at the time of the fire.

Crews worked into the early hours of the morning to contain the fire, extinguish hotspots and ensure there was no further fire spread.

Firefighters from Harden and Wagga also assisted by providing rehab and breathing apparatus support throughout the incident. NSW ambulance provided support for firefighter welfare.

A great multi-agency effort by all crews involved.

Thanks to the crew from 313 who provided the post from their FB site

Tomorrow is the first day of winter! Unfortunately this time of year generally means an uptick in house fires. Below are some gentle reminders and tips on ensuring you and your household are prepared and protected as best as possible.

🔥 You can’t smell smoke while you’re asleep
🔥 We teach 0-8yo to get out, stay out, call 000 and they absolutely get it…do you?
🔥 Smoke alarms are cheap! (or free if you contact your local FRNSW station)
🔥 New smoke alarms batteries last 10 years and maintenance free, ALL old ones still require 9v batteries, hard wired ones need a sparky to replace.
🔥 Other more technical smoke alarms are on the market and can be synced to your home assistants (Siri, Alexa etc) - not supplied by FRNSW
🔥 Get a carbon monoxide detector (especially if you have an unflued gas/electric heater or combustion heater
🔥 Clean your dryers lint filter EVERY use!!
🔥 Discuss and practice what to do in the event of a fire with your household
🔥 Consider having an extinguisher and fire blanket in your kitchen
🔥 Test AND clean your smoke detector often. (At least twice a year during daylight savings changeover)
🔥 In the event of a fire, if you have had to evacuate please don’t go back in for anything… YES ANYTHING!!

House fires are devastating, not only for those directly affected but also for the responders who put themselves at risk to do the best they can to save life and property. Do your part by ensuring you have working smoke alarms. Contact your local station if you require a home fire safety check, we are more than happy to help!
