Ill wind blows no good

DEALING with a blown-away skylight and a fire hydrant flood was all in a week’s work for Greater Dandenong SES.
Unit controller Paul Daniel said windy weather on Thursday 26 March tore a skylight from a single storey home on Princes Highway, Noble Park, about 7.45pm.
“There was no internal damage from rain or water,” he said.
“Our members put a tarp over the hole that had been created.”
The following afternoon, the unit attended a two-car collision at Ellen Street and Windsor Avenue, Springvale.
“One car collided with a water hydrant and caused a large spout of water,” Mr Daniel said.
“The other car impacted with a wall at a property in Windsor Avenue.
“Water from the fire hydrant went onto the roof of that property and resulted in minor damage to the roof cavity.
“We helped to completely demolish the wall that the car had hit and we ensured that there was no major damage to the roof cavity.”
