Lynbrook blaze, cause unknown

By BRIDGET SCOTT

A FIRE in Lynbrook on Patterson Drive entirely destroyed the roof of a house on Wednesday afternoon.
Hampton Park, Hallam and Cranbourne Fire Brigades attended the blaze which also caused extensive damage to the front lounge room.
Captain of Hampton Park CFA Troy Smith said the “roof was entirely gone” and an investigation is underway by the fire investigation unit.
He said the cause of the fire was unknown at this stage.
Fire crews were called out about 5.20pm and luckily there was nobody inside the house.
Mr Smith said the only thing remaining from the roof was the metal.
“The roof space was all gone,” he said.
“There was smoke and heat damage throughout the house.”
