Incident F4126543 -  9(2)(a) Mason Ave Morewa  14/01/2025  FI Comments for SMS
Fire and Emergency received multiple calls to a garage on fire at 9(2)(a) Mason Ave 
Morewa, which spread to timber fence-lines then to a neighbouring garage at 9(2)(a) 
Mason Ave Morewa. A FENZ 2nd alarm response, fires were extinguished with 
multiple hose lines.
The initial garage, 6m x 6 m concrete floor base, timber framed construct on, 
timber T & G interior lining, ply timber sheet exterior cladding and a corrugated iron 
roof, divided into a separate sleepout and garage storage was totally consumed by 
fire. 
9(2)(a)
INFORMATION 
The 2nd structure at 
 Mason Ave, a standalone garage 6m x 6m, concrete floor 
base, timber framed, non- lined interior, metal sheeting exterior clad, corrugated 
iron roofing suffered intensive damage, but the main structure remained standing. 
An attached timber lean too suffered structural damage also. A large section of 
timber fence-line was destroyed between the two properties. 
A fire investigator was requested & responded to determine the area of origin and 
cause. 
Investigation confirmed the initial garage at 9(2)(a) Mason Ave was the overall area of 
origin structure. This structure had an 9(2)(a)
 
 OFFICIAL 
 
 
Investigation confirmed no live electrical power was present to the garage at the 
time of the incident, and several other possible causes from within the garage were 
eliminated. Inspection of fire spread patterns indicated the area of origin appeared 
to be on the 9(2)(a)
 area side the garage. Possible causes such as a 
R T
possible candle left burning, or a portable gas cooker which had been used a few 
hours earlier, did not appear to be in the probable area of origin.
Thorough inspection of the probable area of origin, no item or possible cause was 
identified, including any suspicious activity, so as a result this incident is classified 
as Undetermined.
