Description: 

Maffra's Pumper and Salvage Unit was requested by the Heyfield Brigade to support them with a house fire. On arrival, the house was fully involved in the front rooms and the roof space. The roof colapsed in one area. One middle bedroom was uninvolved - Maffra applied salvage techniques to drain the ceiling and stop it coming down in that room. A good save as the contents of the room were pretty well undamaged. The back half of the house was mainly smoke/water damage.
Maffra continued to support with its Thermal Imaging Camera (TIC) looking for hot spots and extinguishing them.
The fire started in the lounge room (still under investigation)
