Dryer fire in Acton hair salon

A FIRE broke out in the heritage-listed Acton building precinct this morning, caused by a clothes dryer at La Bimbi hair salon and day spa.

ACT Fire and Rescue were called to the fire at 11.29am, and contained the fire to the dryer only. The building suffered some smoke damage and smoke logging to the rest of the three-storey building.

About 30 people were evacuated from the area, while ACT Fire and Rescue carried out air monitoring and ventilation operations.
