Anger! Melbourne Fire engine went to the wrong address, the victim was trapped in the fire and died on the spot.

 18 Jan 2019

In life we see a lot of dragons, some of them can make people laugh, and some of them can be fatal!

For example, when it comes to emergency rescue, it can`t be delayed for a moment!

A woman is trapped in a house in Melbourne after a fire broke out. By the time the firemen rushed in, she had lost her life.

Unfortunately, she could have been saved! And the fireman`s reason for being late is astounding!

It was. Wrong address!

And even more annoying is the fact that the fire engine had already arrived at the scene, but. Overdrive!

The 55-year-old woman, Vivian Rodger, reportedly lives alone at the Maybury Drive villa in Melbourne`s North District.

On Thursday night, the flame quietly rose from an unburned cigarette end, and the flame climbed up the wall along the sheet.

Soon, the next-door neighbor found something wrong. People called the fire alarm and waited for firefighters to get to the scene.

"I knocked on the window, and I knocked on the door to try to save people, but there was too much smoke." The neighbor said.

At 03:24, firefighters were warned that the fire was out of control.

After the fire engine went out, it came to the wrong address door. The residents there said they opened the door and the fireman asked him, "are you on fire here?"

"No, everything`s fine," he said. "and then back to bed."

According to CCTV images, in fact, the fire engine passed by Ms. Rodger`s home early in the morning, but overopened!

More than 90 minutes later, when neighbors called for help again, the fire engine turned around in a hurry.

But it`s too late! At 5 a.m., the fire engulfed the house and Ms. Rodger never escaped.

"if we had known earlier, then we could have done something, it`s too late," the neighbor said painfully.

Residents are saddened by Ms Rodger`s departure.

People attacked the fire service, claiming that the victim could have been rescued if the fire engine had reached the correct address.

Ms. Rodger is understood to be the only resident in the house, where she has lived for more than 20 years.

As a result of the previous two years of stroke, usually use wheelchairs to move.

Neighbors say Mrs. Rodger devoted her life to her son and two cats and loved to make teddy bears.

I wonder if her cat is in the house too! Burned to death? Care!)

Emergency services believe the fire may have been caused by the woman putting cigarettes on the bed and not completely stuffing out the cigarette ends.

Jiejun said that when someone mistouches a fire alarm, the fire truck alarm can be frequent, how to drop the chain in key time?

Every minute of the rescue is a torment for those trapped in a fire! For 90 minutes, Ms. Rodger actually had a lot of chances to be saved!

But just because rescuers went the wrong way and let the fire burn in the house, no one could accept it!

So far, the MFB has issued a statement saying it will conduct its own internal investigation into the incident, including checking other mobilization earlier today.

I only hope that the Tuao rescue service can learn a lesson through this matter, how long a heart, usually more understand the route and road conditions, do not let the tragedy repeat again!
