Fire ravages physio office

An electrical fault is believed to be the cause of a fire which broke out a physiotherapist's office in Bayfair.

Fire crews were called to the fire on Girven Road at 6.30pm to find the building completely engulfed in flames.


Flames were seen coming from the outside of a physiotherapist's office overnight. Supplied video.

A witness to the fire says no one was in the building when the blaze took hold.

'It was a physiotherapy office that was on fire and nobody inside fortunately. Unbelievable how fast it took hold between when we came across it and when the fire department arrived.”

Police were called in to help with traffic management as firefighters battled the blaze.

Firefighters had the fire under control within about an hour of getting the original call and were dampening down hot spots at about 7.30pm.

A northern fire communications spokesperson says firefighters at the scene believe the cause of the fire was an electrical fault.
