Emergency crews stamp out Millbridge fire

A Department of Fire and Emergency Services spokeswoman said five triple-zero calls were received from members of the public to report the blaze in scrub near Hynes Road just before 1pm. 

Aerial water bombers made two drops with ground crews moving in to contain the small fire which was burning in a north-easterly direction. 

Drivers are asked to exercise caution in the area as there is still some smoke around.
