A spot of luck helped save a Bulls resident's house this week when nearby firefighters heard smoke alarms going off.
Some of the Bulls volunteer brigade were helping a former member move house on Thursday evening when they heard the beeping of a neighbour's smoke alarm across the road.
The
occupant had been cooking on the stove when he realised he was missing some ingredients and popped off to the shops, accidentally leaving the pan on the stove, Bulls fire chief Brian Carter said.
One of the women involved in the move heard the smoke alarm as they were shifting items to the new house, he said.
"That's how we were notified about it," Mr Carter said.
