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.
