Spreyton house fire deliberately lit

A live house fire exercise will be conducted by the Tasmania Fire Service tonight when a house earmarked for demolition will be set on fire. Nearby residents need not be concerned and although there will be smoke and flames, as there is no risk to nearby properties. Martin Agatyn spoke to Devonport Fire Brigade senior station officer David Meldrum about the event, which will be an invaluable training opportunity for career staff and volunteer firefighters involved . . .
