Crews Tackle Fire In Upstairs Unit At Swansea Restaurant

BY IAN CROUCH

Quick work by firefighters has prevented a blaze spreading to a shop front at Swansea.

Crews from Belmont, Swansea and Tingira Heights were called to the Mandarin Palace Chinese restaurant on the Pacific Highway just after 9.30pm on Tuesday to find a fire in the kitchen of an upstairs unit.

4 people self-evacuated without incident.

It took crews about 30 minutes to bring the fire under control which caused fire and smoke damage to the kitchen and roof space above.

The cause of the fire is not known at this stage.
