Altona North unit fire

A unit in Altona North sustained extensive damage in a fire early on the morning of Sunday, May 25.

Fire crews arrived at the property on Mills Street to find the front unit in a group of three single storey units well alight.

Firefighting efforts were initially hampered by the high fuel load at the premises and crews could only attack the fire externally before later entering to conduct a search.

No one was inside the unit.

Two adjoining units were unaffected with all residents accounted for and no reported injuries.

Fire crews remained on scene for several hours to fully extinguish the blaze and monitor hot spots.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
