So we're here at Flagstaff Group at Mutandarra at 8.30pm.
00:05
Calls were received by 000 to a factory alight.
00:08
So Fire and Rescue initially responded to crews,
00:11
and on arrival those first crews found a building at Flagstaff Group's
00:15
wind processing facility was alight.
00:18
The response was escalated to firefighter trucks
00:21
and included our ladder platform from Wollongong,
00:24
where firefighters had to cut their way into the building initially.
00:28
Two different firefighting crews aggressively attacked that fire
00:31
from either side of the building.
00:33
They did a great job and managed to save it to one part of the complex,
00:37
but that part of the complex has been totally destroyed by fire.
00:41
It's about 50 metres by 50 metres, so it's a substantial area
00:45
and that is going to have an impact on Flagstaff Group's
00:49
linen processing facility here at Mutandarra.
00:52
But because of the work that firefighters did in those initial 30 minutes,
00:55
it did minimise the damage to just that area,
00:59
and it means the rest of their operations here will hopefully be
01:02
up and running again by Monday.
01:04
The incident's now moved into more of an investigation phase
01:07
where we're trying to work out exactly how and where this fire started,
01:12
and we'll do that with our specialist fire investigation and research team.
01:16
But we'll have crews here for most of the weekend
01:18
assisting Flagstaff Group to hopefully get back up and running
01:21
as soon as possible.
