Fire crews from around the region responded to a significant fire at Woodleigh Lodge just south of Sanson at around15:00 yesterday. All up, some 31 callsigns responded to the event with a further 6 machines moved to provide cover. PRFO Brent Fanning responded for the Council. At around 17:45 thoughts were turning to tea - a quick call to the Emergency Management Duty Officer resulted in the Red Cross being called in to assist.
For some it has been an overnight vigil with the last of them leaving around 07:30 this morning.
EMDO Ross Brannigan (Rosco's first week as EMDO and he gets a goodie) went to check things out and get a few photos later in the piece... I think we need lessons on how to take photos with your phone!
At the same time, I responded as alternative EMDO to a smoke complaint in Newbury Line. Turned out to be a stubble burn that was being well looked after. A lot of people in Palmerston North would have seen the pall of smoke though.
