25.01.2022 - MOUSE BAIT WARNING - Residents of the Hunter New England Local Health District who have used a commercial agricultural mouse bait containing zinc phosphide in... their home are urged to contact the NSW Environment Protection Authority's 24-hour Environment Line for advice and to register for free removal and disposal. The bait has the potential to pose a serious risk to anyone who is exposed to it, especially children. Poisoning can occur by inhaling fumes given off by the mouse bait, or by swallowing the product. People should ensure they, their children and pets do not touch any product that has been spread around the home.

Six residents had managed to self-evacuate when crews arrived however, the family dog, Betty, was still trapped inside the home. Thinking the worst, firefighters worked for over an hour to bring the blaze under control. Towards the end of operations, with the structure badly compromised, crews noticed Betty moving through the rubble of the second story towards a balcony. Firefighters were able to use a ladder platform to lift Betty safely from the balcony and into the arms of her worried owners. Betty was very happy to be rescued and is being treated by the local veterinary clinic but is expected to make a full recovery. #MoreTheFire #PreparedForAnything #DogRescue
