10-1-26 Bushfire Moorebank

This afternoon Fire & Rescue NSW crews responded to a Bush Fire along the Georges River at Moorebank in Sydney’s South West. Facing 41° heat with 45kph winds, crews arrived to find a fast moving bush and grass fire, with several hundred metres of fire front heading towards a large industrial estate and numerous warehouses.

Firefighters worked to defend the warehouses from the fire front, with crews being impacted by heavy smoke and significant showers of embers, which ignited the yard of one warehouse including several large containers. Once the threat to properties was brought under control, crews worked to chase the flanks of the fire through the grassland, successfully boxing the fire in against the river and bringing it under control after two hours of firefighting. Crews remain on scene working through the scrub to fully extinguish the fire.

Just after 6am this morning Fire & Rescue NSW crews responded to an automatic fire alarm at a commercial bakery on Barclay Street at Marrickville. Crews arrived to find large volumes of smoke issuing from the building, with a significant fire spreading through the structure.

27-10-25 Building Fire Spring Farm

This morning Fire & Rescue NSW and NSW Rural Fire Service crews responded to an Automatic Fire Alarm and 000 call for a fire in the Veolia Resource Recovery Park at Spring Farm. Crews arrived to find a fire in a large building filled with several hundred tonnes of rubbish, with heavy smoke pouring from the structure and intense fire spreading through the building.

Firefighters in breathing apparatus entered the building and worked with hoselines to try and cut the fire off from spreading into the rest of the complex. Crews were hampered by major water supply issues, with multiple bulk water carriers required as well as a water shuttle using tankers to ferry water to the fireground. Once sufficient water was on site crews were able to use multiple aerial appliances and ground monitors to control the fire. Breathing apparatus crews then worked with on site heavy machinery to pull apart the tonnes of rubbish and extinguish the fire, which took several hours.
