Returning to base after a Buttonderry hazard reduction on Saturday afternoon, July 15, both Wallarah and Wyee Rural Fire Brigades were diverted to a car fire after an accident.
On arrival at Summerhayes Rd, near Rodgers Rd at Wyee, the crews found a single vehicle crashed into a tree and on fire.
The occupant was already out of the car and after initial treatment by Ambulance paramedics the driver was taken to hospital for further treatment.
Wyee and Warnervale RFS crews were out again on Sunday, July 16, for another car fire – this time on Hue Hue Rd near Bushells Ridge Rd at Kiar.
Police co-ordinated traffic affected in both directions while the fire was extinguished and Ambulance medics treated the occupants of the vehicle before being transported to hospital.
