FIREFIGHTERS in breathing apparatus have rescued two cats from a house fire on Gussey Street in Moncrieff this afternoon (May 18).
The fire reportedly started on the stove top and extended into the ceiling of the two-storey house.
The occupants safely exited the premises when firefighters arrived, and no injuries have been reported.
Bernard Heinze Avenue is currently closed eastbound between the round-a-bout at O’Keefe Avenue and Gussey Street.
Once a Hazardous Materials crew finish conducting atmospheric monitoring, the scene will be handed back to the occupants.
