Fire & Rescue NSW crews remained on scene throughout last night and into today continuing to fight a fire which started in a large self storage facility yesterday on Wednesday 24th June. The fire has spread through multiple levels of the facility, with the building beginning to show signs of structural collapse forcing firefighters to attack the fire from the outside. Crews are working from ladder platforms with power saws to cut their way through the walls and roof of the building, as well as using a large excavator to pull apart the building’s iron cladding so firefighters can reach inside. The incident is now a 9th Alarm response and crews continue to fight the fire into Thursday night.

24-6-26 Building Fire Chipping Norton

This afternoon Fire & Rescue NSW crews responded to an automatic fire alarm and multiple 000 calls to a fire in a Storage King facility on Governor Macquarie Drive at Chipping Norton. Crews arrived to find a large fire spreading quickly through the facility, with fire jumping from storage unit to storage unit. Firefighters in breathing apparatus used power saws to cut their way into each unit and attack the fire, however continued to be forced back by numerous explosions and heavy fire conditions. The fire then spread into the large multi story self storage facility within the site.

Firefighters worked with multiple hoselines, ground monitors, an aerial pumper and two ladder platforms to control the fire within the rear storage building, as well as extinguish the fire spreading into the multi story storage building. Crews set up several water relays with numerous pumpers from Newbridge Road, as well as using the on site hydrant booster system to increase pressure to the site’s ring main. Firefighters remain on scene into the night working to extinguish the fire.

This afternoon Fire Rescue NSW crews responded to reports of a Building Fire on Victoria Road at Marrickville. Crews arrived to find a large fire spreading quickly through the Belvoir Theatre Company production workshop. With heavy smoke pouring from the warehouse, firefighters used breathing apparatus to enter the building. As crews attempted to control the fire, numerous gas explosions occurred and parts of the structure began to collapse, forcing crews to withdraw and protect surrounding properties, including a pet supply store attached to the front of the building.

Firefighters worked for several hours to bring the fire under control, using multiple hoselines, ground monitors and three ladder platforms. Crews set up two water relays to bring additional water to the scene. The fire continues to burn in the remains of the building and crews will be on scene extinguishing the fire into the night.

6-6-26 Building Fire Camden

Just after 1am this morning Fire & Rescue NSW crews responded to reports of a Building Fire at Belgenny Reserve in Camden. Crews arrived to find the clubhouse of the Camden Falcons Football Club well alight, with a significant fire spreading throughout the top floor of the building.

As the fire spread into the roof sections of the building began to collapse, forcing firefighters outside of the building. Crews were hampered by extremely poor water pressure from the closest hydrants, with firefighters having to set up a water relay from the Old Hume Highway and pump water from over half a kilometre away to the scene.

Firefighters worked for several hours with multiple breathing apparatus crews and an Aerial Pumper to bring the fire under control. One firefighter was injured and treated on scene by paramedics in a stable condition.
