At 11pm on Monday, September 12, Mallanganee RFS unit was called to the house fire just out of town.
Mummulgum, Tabulam, Casino RFS units and Casino Fire and Rescue came to help. Police, ambulance and Essential Energy also attended.
Local farmer Bill Hewetson came to the rescue of the bogged fire truck.
