ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE STARTS FIRE AT BERKLEY VALE

Firefighters were faced with flames and smoke coming out of a Berkley Vale home’s windows overnight.

Two upstairs bedrooms were severely damaged at the Lakedge Avenue house.

It’s believed an electrical appliance was left unattended, and caught alight just before 8 o’clock.

Emergency crews contained the blaze within half an hour, sparing the majority of the home from ruin.

Thankfully no one was inside at the time.
