Caravan and shed fire at Mypolonga causes $60k in damage

Firefighters have attended the scene of a caravan and shed fire at Mypolonga on Sunday night.

At around 8.10pm, four Country Fire Service trucks carrying approximately 18 firefighters attended the fire at a property on Rathjen Road.

The caravan was located beneath a lean-to next to the shed, which contained household goods.

Firefighters used breathing apparatus to support a defensive operational attack, with two Metropolitan Fire Service trucks and eight firefighters provided for support.

Damage to the shed and caravan, along with accompanying property, was estimated at $60,000, with no other property impact.

Nobody was hurt in the fire.

It was the second serious blaze in the area in two weeks, after the loss of a shed on North Bokara Road at Woodlane on October 18.
