Fire engulfs construction site in Belmore in Sydney’s south-west

An out-of-control blaze has destroyed parts of a construction site in Sydney’s south-west overnight.

Emergency crews were called to the Belmore property just before 11pm, to find the site engulfed in flames.

It took several firefighting crews almost two hours to bring the blaze under control and to stop it from spreading to neighbouring buildings.

“The fire proved pretty difficult, we had two aerial appliances at work and we brought in a specialist foam pumper,” Fire and Rescue NSW Inspector Mick Wren said.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the blaze.
