10 years ago March 1, 2013 Two elderly residents and their dog were lucky to escape with their lives after an electrical fault sparked a fire in their home in Forest Street, Castlemaine. The couple were fast asleep when the first broke out at the rear of their home just after 10pm and it was lucky that a Castlemaine taxi driver spotted the blaze and quickly raised the alarm. Leading Senior Constable Chad McKenzie and Sen Constable Mark White were on patrol when they received the call. The pair, along with local young CFA volunteer Matt Murdoch, had to force open the front gate to raise the alarm and save the occupants.
