Anxious Stockton residents have breathed a sigh of relief as a bushfire came within 150 metres of homes yesterday afternoon.
The blaze broke out just before 1.30pm and burnt through 4 hectares near Fort Wallace fanned by strong winds before being brought under control.
Heavy smoke from the fire blocked Fullerton Street for about two hours, with 10 fire trucks deployed to fight the blaze.
