Fire and Rescue NSW investigators examine cause of factory fire - Jamisontown
Published: 11 Oct 2023 10:22am
Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) investigators are working to determine the cause of a fire which has engulfed a factory at Jamisontown, in Sydney's west.
More than 40 firefighters and 14 fire trucks were deployed to the Regentville Street complex, where the blaze broke out just after 10pm.
It had started in a unit used to manufacture perfumes and colognes.
Flames quickly reached high above the building, causing the roof to collapse and leaving behind significant structural damage.
Fire crews battled over several hours to contain and extinguish the fire, managing to save some neighbouring units.
No injuries have been reported.
Experts from FRNSW's Fire Investigation and Research Unit (FIRU) are working with NSW Police to establish what sparked the fire.
