Three Sunshine houses damaged by fire, smoke

A fire tore through two houses in Sunshine on Sunday 19 October with a third home affected by smoke.

More than 40 firefighters fought the major blaze on Cornwall Road at 6.45am. They arrived to find the back of a single-storey weatherboard property well alight.

Crews immediately escalated the response, sending additional fire trucks and a helicopter.

Fierce winds pushed the fire onto adjoining properties, causing two further properties to catch alight.

All occupants had evacuated and were accounted for.

Police and paramedics were on the scene, and the fire was deemed under control at 8.20am.
