Just incase anyone wanted to know - It was actually Citronela that fueled the raging fire - I heard on the Main FESA channel - 78.100 - Some one called it an 8-8 - even heard a 3rd Alarm being mentioned.
The building had no fire sprinklers or smoke alarms because the building was quite old - so hope this info helps.
Black smoke coming from Mt Lawley/Maylands - what is it?

Yeah, that's what the media were saying. I'm surprised that a building of any age that has members of the public visiting it is permitted to have no smoke alarms...gkoutlis wrote: The building had no fire sprinklers or smoke alarms because the building was quite old - so hope this info helps.

No doubt there are alot of other buildings in perth that don't have any fire sprinklers or alarms - another great example - close to where I live - Bunnings in South Perth - Close to the foreshore -vk6hgr wrote:Yeah, that's what the media were saying.

They even had a fire on Sat night - i was refuelling at Shell and saw some sus activity, and called police - Kensington FESA arrived and put out the fire - Again - No fire alarms or sprinklers on the inside of the building.!! This is very dangerous....But all praise goes out to the staff at WA Salvage in Morley for evacuating all of its customers....
Check this Link out - it was live at the scene of the fire - Not sure i agree with the music, but check it out
