On arrival, crews found a shop smoke-logged and quickly gained entry and found a clothes dryer on fire. The blaze was quickly extinguished with very little damage to the property. In an online post, the owners of Summers Westdale Supermarket and Takeaway said the shop is safe. "We are very pleased to have smoke detectors that report back to base," the social media post read.
