Building Fire Marrickville 24-11-25

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.

Firefighters in breathing apparatus entered the building and attempted to control the fire, but were forced out by heavy fire as parts of the building began to collapse. Firefighters were hampered by lack of water and numerous water relays were set up to pump water to the incident. Crews used multiple hoselines, three ground monitors and two ladder platforms to contain the fire, saving the adjoining factories attached to the building.

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.
