Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) crews have saved a row of businesses in Trangie from a fire that’s destroyed an abandoned café on Sunday morning 17 November.

The blaze broke out in Dandaloo Street, just after 9am.

The FRNSW crew from Trangie was quickly on the scene and was joined by FRNSW’s Assistant Commissioner for Regional Operations, Cheryl Steer, who was travelling through the town at the time.

The crew battled to control the blaze for 90 minutes, providing water protection on both sides of the derelict business, preventing the flames from engulfing the row of shops.
