Faulty air conditioner deemed the cause of house fire - Liverpool
Published: 15 Nov 2022 04:18pm
Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) crews believe a faulty air conditioner started a fire that destroyed a home yesterday at Liverpool, in Sydney's south-west.
Numerous Triple Zero (000) calls were received about smoke issuing from the property in Mayberry Crescent shortly after 4pm.
On arrival, crews found a house well alight with flames through the roof.
More than 20 firefighters worked to extinguish the fire and contain it to the house of origin.
The house was destroyed in the blaze.
FRNSW was assisted on scene by NSW Police and NSW Ambulance.
Superintendent Adam Dewberry from Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) 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.
