More than 40 workers were forced to evacuate a chemical warehouse after it became engulfed in flames and sent black smoke over Western Sydney.
About 60 firefighters responded to a fifth alarm fire – the highest level alarm – at a single-storey Industrial Galvanizers factory on Amax Avenue in Girraween.
The Industrial Galvanizers warehouse is home to a large amount of chemicals, which had the potential to fuel a greater blaze, according to emergency services.
