It took about 26 firefighters about 30 minutes to contain a blaze at Menora Gardens residential aged care facility this morning. RSL Care WA chief executive Kevin Davidson said the fire started in an ensuite bathroom of a room in the one-storey Eweing Wing. “A fire occurred in the exhaust extraction fan and that tripped the RCD switch to isolate the power,” he said. Staff heard the fire alarm, turned off the electricity and evacuated at least six residents from their rooms just after 4am. One woman, 90, was treated for smoke inhalation.
