Four calls so far today. The pre-breakfast call-out to Tegel's Henderson processing plant was to a fire in the roof. Members provided traffic management and scene security. Mid-morning we were called to a serious house fire in Greenlane. The 2-storeyed home was well alight and initially it was feared someone may have been trapped inside. Additional firefighters were called to the scene. Our pager message at lunchtime advised of the first of two motor accidents.The first was in Richardson Road, Owairaka, where 2 vehicles had collided, one of which lost a large quantity of oil on the roadway. Almost immediately the vehicles had been removed and the carriageway made safe, our personnel were on their way to the second incident in Wolverton Street, Avondale where a 2-car collision left a woman with serious injuries. One of the cars demolished a bus stop shelter in which the injured woman was waiting. Members remained for nearly 2 hours to maintain public safety.
