Advice was issued through the VicEmergency app informing the Terang community the structure fire was under control at 7.30pm but warned smoke would be visible.
Western District Newspapers understands heavy smoke caused CFA members to enter using breathing apparatus on the building’s interior to locate and extinguish the fire.
“The incident was deemed under control at 6.41pm and declared safe at 2.41am on Monday, May 4,” the CFA spokes person said.
“A fire investigation unit will investigate the cause.”
