Title: Truro structure fires
Post by: uniden on June 13, 2008, 04:53:37 PM
What the heck is going on in Truro this week. Both a roadhouse and the footy club have burnt to the ground in three nights. Truro are probably lucky to get a structure fire every five years and have had two in three days.
Anyone aware of the cause of these ??

Bit of a worry,  dont think it should be discussed until its cause is known. fair sus.

I think the media had already listed them both as arson.

The servo fire was put down to an electrical fault from what i read in the paper unless thats changed?

Quick snip from mondays online advertiser;
The probable cause was an electrical fault in the ceiling, with about of $80,000 damage caused.

Im sure the locals will be wondering the same thing...very rare for two structures in a short space of time in the same town.
