A house fire on Fringed Way in Piara Waters brought emergency services to the scene at about 12:20pm on Saturday, March 29, 2025. PerthNow reported that one home was fully engulfed, neighbouring properties were exposed to the blaze, and firefighters contained the fire by about 12:50pm. A dog trapped inside was brought out safely, according to a neighbour quoted in the report.
What happened on Fringed Way?
PerthNow reporter Jessica Evensen reported that emergency services attended the Piara Waters property at about 12:20pm after multiple triple-0 calls. A Department of Fire and Emergency Services spokesperson told the outlet that one home was fully engulfed and neighbouring properties were exposed to the blaze. PerthNow said the fire was contained by about 12:50pm.
Neighbour Renee said she saw a large plume of black smoke and called triple-0. “I walked out of my front door and the house is straight ahead and I saw a massive cloud of black smoke,” she told The West. The report’s image caption identified the dog at the property as Tyson; Renee said firefighters brought the trapped dog out safely.
Was anyone hurt, and was the dog rescued?
St John WA confirmed that no ambulance crews had been called to the scene, and PerthNow reported that everyone had been accounted for. Those details do not amount to a full medical assessment, so the report does not establish whether anyone sustained an injury. The dog was reported to have been rescued safely by firefighters.
