Just before 5:30pm Fire and Rescue NSW crews from the Blue Mountains area responded to multiple Triple Zero (000) calls to a house fire on Sublime Point Rd in Leura.
On arrival crews found smoke issuing from under the eaves and proceeded to investigate the source of the fire.
After approximately one hour the fire was contained to the lower level of the home.
Superintendent Adam Dewberry from Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) said this is a timely reminder that calling Triple Zero (000) for an emergency can be the difference between life and death.
The Triple Zero (000) service is the quickest way to get the right resources from emergency services to help you. It should be used to contact Police, Fire or Ambulance services in life-threatening or time-critical situations.
