KINGS PARK, VIC. — Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) firefighters responded to a couch on fire in a Tollhouse Road, Kings Park backyard after callers to Triple Zero (000) reported a fire at 1.52pm yesterday.
Firefighters arrived on scene to find the couch fire had spread to the house and was now well alight, so they escalated the response to a second alarm.
Crews donned breathing apparatus and began attacking the couch fire and conducting an internal attack on the house fire to prevent further fire spread.
The boundary fence was also affected by fire.
No occupants were home at the time of the fire.
The fire was deemed under control by 2.26pm.
