NSW: Million-dollar beach homes gutted by fire
SYDNEY, April 19 AAP - Two homes worth millions of dollars have been gutted by fire
at Byron Bay on the northern NSW coast.
Emergency services were called to a burning home in Brownwell Drive, Wategoes Beach,
around 7.30pm (AEST) on Sunday.
Crews battled the blaze for about two hours when a wind change caused a home next door
to catch fire.
Despite efforts, both homes were destroyed by the blaze.
Police have been told the homes had a combined value of $5 million.
A third house in the street also sustained minor damage but none of the homes were
occupied during the incident.
The cause of the fire is still to be determined.
