Interstate News; Working smoke alarm leads to quick escape
Sep 10, 2010
A woman has had a lucky escape from a house fire in Canberra's
south this morning.
The woman was woken by a working smoke alarm just after 2 o'clock
and safely escaped her home in Bonython Street at Downer and called
emergency triple zero.
The ACT Fire Brigade responded with three fire pumpers with crews
quickly extinguishing a small fire in the laundry of the
property.
Only minor smoke logging was caused.
Fire investigators have determined the fire started in a dryer.
