A 46-year-old female and a 21-year-old male were treated for smoke inhalation at the scene but did not require  hospital treatment.

Shortly before 11pm on Saturday, firefighters were called to another blaze in a property in Cameron Park after thick smoke billowed into an adjacent building. An 80-year-old male and 84-year-old female were treated for smoke inhalation.
