At around 12 40 hrs today (Sat 19-03- 2005) calls started coming in of a factory on fire at Robinson Rd East at Geebung. (thanks Michael A & Trish for constant updates)

Upon being informed of this I walked to my back door to see large plumes of black smoke from that direction, as I started to head that way further details came in of 921, 916 and 911 responding.

The actual fire was at the rear of Robinson Rd East on Morrisby St Geebung in a hose business of some type, on arrival crews gave a ‘code 2 well involved message’ and stated the structure was some 10 x 15 and a shed on fire, after the smoke had cleared it seemed that it was in fact pallet racking against a shed that had caught fire , the racks contained large rolls of PVC hose, the cause of the smoke and intense fire.

The racking was up against a shed and there was some smoke and fire damage to this building.

Fire was under control some 15 minutes later and a stop message transmitted.

In attendance where the following

911 heavy urban pump tanker
916 light urban pump
516 emergency tender
