Two men are expected to be charged following a bushfire at Penfield this afternoon.
About 2.30pm Saturday 2 November emergency services were called to Womma Road after reports that a grass fire had been sparked by an angle grinder and was now out of control burning in a southerly direction.
The fire burnt approximately 33 hectares of grass and caused damaged to a shed and several glass houses. Three people were taken to hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation. No homes were impacted.
Following an investigation, a 31-year-old Waterloo Corner man and a 31-year-old Penfield man were arrested at the scene and are expected to be charged with bushfire related offences.
Roads in the area were closed for just over three hours while emergency services brought the fire under control. Police would like to thank the public for their patience and assistance.
