Garden supplies fire lights up the night Western Port
HASTINGS and Bittern CFA brigades fought a yard fire at a Hastings garden supplies business, corner of FrankstonFlinders Rd and Haddock St, 11pm, Wednesday 26 April. First Lieutenant Alan Millar, of Hastings CFA, said the fire was contained to a pile of scrap metal and rubbish, with
no buildings involved. He said an occupant had lit a small fire for warmth but it got into the debris pile and he could not extinguish it himself. Four appliances with 15 fire fighters took a couple of hours to extinguish the blaze and mop up. It is not considered suspicious. Picture: Gary Sissons
