More than 20 Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) Firefighters worked quickly to protect nearby homes when the electrical transformer – located between two unit blocks – caught fire about 2pm.
All residents self-evacuated without injury.
Superintendent Scott Dodson said this is a timely reminder that calling Triple Zero (000) for a fire emergency can be the difference between life and death, or a building or other property being saved or destroyed.
The Triple Zero (000) service is the quickest way to get the right resources from emergency services to help you. It should be used to contact Police, Fire or Ambulance services in life-threatening or time-critical situations.
