Bombowlee property fires sees vehicle and shed destroyed

Emergency services rushed to a property on Wee Jasper Road, Bombowlee, at 7.45pm after a neighbour alerted the owners a shed was on fire.

Geoff Frowd, a district officer at Riverina Highlands Rural Fire Service, said three RFS crews attended along with Fire and Rescue NSW to tackle the fire.

"It was one of those smouldering fires, confined to one area of the shed, but the radiant heat and smoke had damaged the materials in the shed," he said.
