Gas sparks dental fire

In control: Koonwarra CFA members George Witherow and Anthony Clemann watch after evacuating vehicles from Leongatha’s Lyon Street.

 

 

A FIRE at a dental clinic in Leongatha yesterday (Monday) was contained quickly.

Staff extinguished the small blaze, after a gas leak caused an instrument to catch fire.

Leongatha and Koonwarra CFA brigades attended as a precaution, as did Leongatha Police.

Lyon Street was closed to traffic for about 30 minutes after the incident was reported to 000, about 9.15am.

Firefighters inspected the clinic, in the second storey, and soon declared the premises safe.

Leongatha CFA captain Tristan Morton-Pedersen praised dental staff.

“The staff have done well and kept calm and extinguished the fire,” he said.
