BREAKING! Family Of Five Escapes House Fire At Fletcher
BY IAN CROUCH
A smoke alarm has saved a family of five from harm after their home at Fletcher went up in flames early this morning.
Newcastle Fire Command say their received several triple-oh calls to the two storey brick and tile home in Magnolia Close just after 3.00am.
They arrived to find smoke issuing from the ground level, using a thermal imaging camera to find the seat of the fire - it's believed an electrical fault in a fan under the stairs sparked the blaze.
It's caused severe damage to the lower level, while the second storey was badly damaged by smoke and water.
The family of two adults and 3 children were not injured.
