Crews Called To Commercial Laundry Fire At Hamilton South

 BY IAN CROUCH

Firefighters say an overnight fire at a Hamilton South commercial laundry could've been much worse.

Around 20 firefighters from three stations, including the ladder platform from Newcastle, were called to Ezy Laundry in Hassall Street just before 10.00pm on Tuesday.

They had to force entry to the premises, where they found a dryer on fire.

It's taken about an hour to douse the flames and ventilate the heavily smoke-logged premises.

The fire was contained to the dryer, which was destroyed in the blaze along a customer's clothing.
