House fire on Waugan

A pumper and tanker from the Gilgandra Fire Station arrived at the scene around 7.30pm, and found the house fully involved in fire. Firefighters in breathing apparatus began to battle the blaze, but could not enter the home as the intense heat caused a partial roof collapse.

Crews prevented the flames from spreading and ultimately extinguished the flames around 9.20pm. There were no occupants in the house. NSW Police are investigating the cause of the fire.
