Fire services were called to a structural fire at Coopers Lane South near Mullumbimby at 11.50pm on Sunday night.
‘Quick action by the local Main Arm Bushfire Brigade saved the house from burning down on Sunday night,’ Group Officer for Far North Coast RFS, Bob Graham, told The Echo.
The fire was in the laundry set up as a lean to at one end of the building.
‘Two Rural Fire Service (RFS) members who lived locally were able to arrive on scene quickly in their own vehicles and help the homeowner cool the flames until the RFS trucks arrived and were able to put out the fire,’ said Mr Graham.
‘The main structure of the building was saved from the fire as a result of the quick responses and also its construction out of pre-fabricated concrete slabs.
‘Other local crews in attendance were the Mullumbimby Fire and Rescue 388, Mullumbimby RFS, Billinudgel RFS, NSW police, NSW ambulance and Essential Energy.’
No one was hurt in the fire.
