Small fire in Gerringong

Gerringong RFS attended a small garage fire in Croft Place, Gerringong on Saturday 28 October, 2023.

On arrival, the fire had started to extend into the first floor but was quickly extinguished, which confined the fire to a small area and saved most of the house from fire damage.

Preliminary investigation suggests the fire was started by a battery charging in the garage area.
