FIRE
A couple of curious jobs for our firefighters overnight, with two separate fires at a tip, as well as a toilet.
In the first instance, fire crews were called to the Ballarat Transfer Station in Alfredton, where a large skip bin had caught fire.
They arrived on scene just before 10.30pm and soon brought the fire under control.
Then, at 5am today, crews were called after a fire in a Sebastopol toilet.
The owner of the house had left a citronella candle burning on top of the toilet, which then started a small fire.
A properly working smoke alarm woke the occupant, who was able to douse the blaze, however the toilet was damaged.
Firefighters said the incident was a timely reminder not to leave candles burning overnight.
AMBULANCE
Ambulance paramedics were on scene to treat 80-year-old Frank Moloney, who was found in Brown Hill bushland after being missing for almost 30 hours last night.
He was taken to Ballarat Base Hospital about 9pm in a stable condition.
SES
State Emergency Service volunteers and crew members from Ballarat, Hepburn, Bacchus Marsh and Ararat were all involved in the successful search for missing man Frank Moloney last night.
The crews had been rotating throughout the day, before the elderly man was found, as darkness fell.
TRAINS
All Ballarat trains are running on time this morning.
