Villawood Scrap Yard Fire

Villawood 6th Alarm Fire 21-10-24
This afternoon Fire Rescue NSW crews responded to reports of an unknown fire on Miller Street at Villawood. Crews arrived to find a fire in a large scrap metal business, with flames quickly spreading throughout the premises. Fire rapidly involved a large three story high pile of scrap mattresses, as well as large amounts of scrap metal and numerous shipping containers.
Firefighters worked for several hours to control the fire, working to protect numerous businesses on all sides of the fire. The fire is now deep seated within the pile and will continue to burn into the night as firefighters work to pull the scrap apart in conjunction with machinery.
