House Badly Damaged By Fire At Caves Beach

BY IAN CROUCH

A house has been severely damaged in an overnight fire at Caves Beach.

7 fire trucks from Swansea, Belmont, Tingira Heights and Charlestown were called to the two storey brick and tin roof home on The Esplanade at about 5.30pm on Thursday to find the house well alight.

It's taken two-and-a-half hours to extinguish the blaze which damaged about two thirds of the house.

No-one was injured.

Police say it appears an electrical fault sparked the fire.
