Cane Grove house destroyed by fire due to overheated transformer

“Firefighters went into action, and using one jet via an open water source, they extinguished the fire,” the GFS said.

The house was owned by 51-year-old Anita Deosarrian. She lived there with her family of three.

The building and its content were destroyed in the fire.

The Fire Service found that an electrical transformer overheated, causing the fire.

“The fire broke out after an electrical transformer overheated resulting in arcing and sparking.

“The transformer subsequently ignited and came into contact with nearby combustible materials,” the GFS said.
