News Story
Members exercised almost the full range of their unique support duties at a fire in a panel beater's premises in Boston Road, Mt Eden this afternoon. The callout was elevated to a second alarm when flames swept through a paint shop at the rear of the premises. We managed traffic, closing Boston Road at both Mt Eden Road and Nugent Street intersections. We carried out crowd control nearer the fire itself and we established scene management on outer cordons. Our Control Point duties included gathering nominal roll tallies and then mapping the scene. We also provided refreshments for fire crews. Then, towards the end of the incident, we assisted restoring equipment to fire trucks. Scene lighting? Not required: all operations were concluded before dusk. And Salvage was left for others after scene investigations.
