CFA units were kept busy on the morning of Sunday 3 September with a call out for a house fire in Healesville. 

The fire was reported at 8am on Father’s Day when CFA Healesville got the call for a fire at a house on Myers Creek Road. 

Healesville CFA captain Brian Earl said crews from Healesville, Badger Creek, Hillcrest and Coldstream attended to extinguish the fire.

“There was a risk of asbestos through the place, but we tried to put the fire out,” he said.

“It was unfortunate that the entire building was not able to be safe, but lucky that no one got injured.”
