BREAKING! One Person Evacuated From Unit Fire At Salamander Bay

BY IAN CROUCH

One person has been evacuated after a fire broke out in their Salamander Bay unit this morning.

Emergency services were called to the apartment in Mast Close just after 5 o'clock to find a fire in the bathroom.

Police were first to arrive and managed to knock the fire down using a garden hose before firefighters wearing breathing apparatus took over and extinguished the blaze before it could spread.

It's believed the fire was caused by a candle.
