00:00That doesn't look real good.
00:04Well, mate, I was just driving down Newcastle Street.
00:06I saw, obviously, the building behind me that started to have smoke coming out of it.
00:11So I pulled over to the side of the road to go and investigate it,
00:13make sure no one was hurt or anything.
00:16When I got up the road, I could see a lot of thick black smoke starting to come out.
00:20I could hear the timbers from the building coming down, so it obviously caught fire.
00:24And it was obviously the owner and his employees were starting to rush out of the building.
00:28So I called 000, got the fireys, told them where it was, got to make sure they were here,
00:33and just proceeded pretty much to get people evacuated from the building.
00:36As you can see, there's still cars in the road.
00:40Told everyone to try and get the cars out of the way so the fireys could get in and do their job,
00:45and just make sure everyone from the side buildings were evacuated pretty much.
00:51They just came out and tried to take care of traffic until the cops showed up and the fireys,
00:56and yeah, then they just took over and did their job.
00:59No one injured or anything, so well done emergency services.
01:12It was us.
