On Saturday night, crews from Smithfield, Bonnyrigg Heights, Parramatta and Cabramatta worked swiftly to contain an electoral fire in Greenfield Park.
It was one of three house fires the Cabramatta crew attended in an eight hours period with house fires also at Liverpool and Canley Heights.
FRNSW remind the community to:
- Keep looking when cooking.
- Don't overload power boards.
- Keep everything a metre from the heater.
- Never use wheat bags to warm your bed.
- Check electric blankets for frayed cords and other damage.
- Don't use outdoor heating and cooking equipment inside the home as it can be fatal.
- Have a Home Escape Plan.
- If a fire does occur, get out, stay out and call Triple Zero.
