Huge Fire Engulfs Sydney Factory, Sending Plumes of Smoke Across City
A massive blaze tore through a factory complex in Sydney earlier today, triggering a large-scale emergency response and sending thick black smoke billowing across the city skyline. The incident, which began in the early hours of the morning, has been declared a major industrial fire as firefighters battle to bring the inferno under control.
According to Fire and Rescue NSW, the blaze erupted inside a manufacturing facility in Sydney’s western suburbs, quickly spreading through multiple sections of the building. Workers who were on-site at the time reported hearing a loud bang before flames began shooting through the roof.
Emergency services rushed to the scene, with more than 100 firefighters and dozens of fire appliances deployed to stop the blaze from spreading to neighbouring factories and storage units. Specialist hazardous materials crews were also called due to concerns about chemicals stored within the facility.
Residents across surrounding suburbs were advised to stay indoors and keep windows shut as a precaution, with smoke visible from kilometres away. Public health officials warned that debris and ash carried by the wind could pose respiratory risks, especially for vulnerable individuals.
Footage shared on social media showed towering flames engulfing the structure as firefighters fought the blaze from multiple directions, using aerial ladder platforms to douse hotspots and prevent the factory’s walls from collapsing outward.
Authorities confirmed that, despite the scale of the fire, all staff were safely evacuated. There have been no reports of serious injuries, although one firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion on site.
Police have cordoned off the area, and major roads around the industrial estate remain closed. The cause of the fire is not yet known, but investigators are expected to enter the site once it is deemed safe to do so.
Local business owners expressed shock at the speed of the fire’s spread. Many fear significant financial losses due to potential damage to adjacent properties and prolonged disruption to operations.
Fire crews are expected to continue dampening down hotspots well into the night, with authorities warning that smoke may linger over Sydney’s western districts for several hours.
More updates will follow as the investigation continues and the full extent of the damage becomes clear.
