Damage at the rear and in the roof: Mangere house fire
Members responded to 11 incidents over the weekend, our busiest for some time. The focus was on house fires - 5 in all - at Opaheke, Parnell, Mangere, Hillsborough and in Mt Wellington, where an elderly woman died. There were 3 calls as the result of Saturday morning’s storm to Paerata, Pukekohe (power wires down) and Papatoetoe (tree blown down). (See other news item).
On Saturday night the Brigade was called to a multi-vehicle crash on Mt Albert Road. Although it was one accident, members dealt with two "incident scenes" because damaged cars were some 200m apart. Sunday, and members responded to Tuakau where thousands of litres of motor oil spilled from a road tanker. (See other news item).
