The fire destroyed one of the oldest buildings in Wattons street that was home to three businesses.
Speaking on Channel Ten news Captain Wells said if the fire had spread into the neighbouring ANZ and NAB banks things would have been a lot worse.
New images of the firefight have been uploaded to the gallery below by CFA photographer Blair Dellemijn.
