A Kyogle homeware store was completely destroyed by fire last night.
Fire crews evacuated four people from nearby residences before the blaze was brought under control.
The alarm was raised at 9 o’clock last night but the fire was not contained until 1am, with the help of fire brigades from nearby towns.
Summerland Way between Anzac Drive and Wiangaree Street remained closed in both directions this morning and local diversions are in place.
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
