πŸ”₯ Fire Small Vehicle
🌍 Holsworthy
πŸš’ V10P1 Holsworthy

Our pump with crew of five were mobilised to a small mobility scooter on fire at a local park. On arrival crews discovered the scooter well alight. Our crew extinguished the fire and moved the scooter away from the nearby trees and bushes that luckily did not ignite in these hot and dry conditions. The scooter has been abandoned for some time and deliberately set on fire. Not only is this a needless act of arson but the risk of fire spread is these dry conditions could further risk damage to the park and nearby properties. Arson related incidents might delay the appliance from attending a more serious and genuine need for help in our community. The crew were detained only for a short while before returning home station.
