At 2:35am Tuesday July 8, the Kiama Fire and Rescue team responded to a report of a house fire in Kiama Downs.
The Dunmore Fire Brigade, NSW Police Force and NSW Ambulance also responded to the report at a one storey house with large amounts of smoke coming from the roof.
“The fire was brought under control, however the house sustained a large amount of damage. Luckily the smoke alarms in the premises alerted the residents who evacuated safely,” the Kiama Fire and Rescue team wrote in a Facebook post.
An initiative enforced by the NSW Government allows people to book a free Home Fire Safety Visit where Fire and Rescue will ensure your smoke alarms are in working condition.
