Following charges related to a fire in northern Adelaide, two individuals are currently incarcerated.
The fire that devastated numerous Penfield properties and prompted a massive emergency reaction was allegedly caused by the suspect’s angle grinder, according to the police.
When a fire broke out yesterday afternoon on Colin Jones’s Womma Road property, he was transported to the hospital with smoke inhalation.
Our lives are over. Lost property. Vehicles, homes. “Work for years and years and years, and it will all come crashing down,” he declared.
Jones made every effort to save the paddocks, but they were burned to the ground and irreplaceable military artifacts were destroyed.
The distance ahead of me was hardly more than three feet.
VA gasp escaped my lips. He had to flee the area as fast as possible after hurling the hose down.
“I’m sure it didn’t mean to be disastrous as it is but a small decision can have an impact on so many.”
Firefighters saved his home and outbuildings, and he was grateful.
Assumedly ignited by an angle grinder and propelled by dry, northerly winds, the fire began in his neighbor’s paddock and quickly spread.
The temperature reached 35 degrees.
A community with 200 senior citizens on high alert is less than one kilometer away from Colin’s land.
Following the arrest and charging of two 31-year-old males with being recklessly indifferent to creating a blaze, crime scene investigators and the Country Fire Service returned to the area today.
Tomorrow, they will take the court.
