 Canade Darren Padgett from Springvale Senior Station Officer, working night shift tonight. 6.30pm tonight we've got a call for grass and scrub fire in the area of Springvale Road and we're still rowed in Springvale. So I'm in response, there's quite a fair bit of smoke showing up. Today is the day of Total Fire Band so the smoke showing we made tankers 5 due to the area, heavily vegetated area. Upon getting here we had trouble getting access. Just right behind a footy oval so there's a lot of people here in the sporting pavilion, a lot of people around trying to help and get in. Had to clear them out of the way and then get the trucks in trying to get access. Fire was in the grass and scrub. It was mapped out by the District 8 ground observers at just under half an acre. So the resources we had on here was all up. Initial call was there to make tankers fire and they ended up having 6 tankers here. Support from the MFB and a couple of pumpers on scene as well as Springvale and the MFB. So initially the fire wasn't a fast moving fire though that was quite a heavy fuel load. We were able to contain the fire on the flanks by the perimeter around the road and one of our major threats was a nursing home just behind me over here. And so we were able to contain that. We were lucky enough to get a bit of feedback from the District 8 air observers to get a bit of a size up on the fire. So very lucky that we had articulated water running right through the fire. In fact the firefighters had to put the fire out to get into the hydrant around the hydrant but that gave us a huge amount of water. So we were able then to douse the fire with a fair bit of water due to tomorrow being a total fire ban and doing total blackout. So tonight we've just had crews walking around with a tick making sure it's completely out. And we've got CFA wildfire investigators with the police trying to determine the cause. This stage it's under investigation but the training does suspicious.
