Finley assist with Deni house fire

A home in River St was destroyed by fire on October 14.

Finley’s Fire + Rescue NSW firefighters were dispatched to Deniliquin on Monday after a house fire was reported in the town’s north.

Providing assistance to the Deniliquin FRNSW brigade, the Finley firefighters assisted with “offensive strategy” methods to quell the blaze, meaning fighting the fire from inside the structure.

Smoke from the house fire covered the Deniliquin township.

NSW Fire + Rescue media confirmed the emergency call came in about 10am.

“The house was fully involved on arrival, and all persons were out,” the media spokesperson said.

The FRNSW spokesperson said at least 12 firefighters were on scene by 11am.

Also assisting the FRNSW crews from Deni and Finley were Rural Fire Service firefighters.

Essential Energy was called to disconnect the power, and Deniliquin Police provided traffic control and other support.
