Rolls Royce saved in devastating house fire - Voyager Point
Published: 11 Dec 2024 02:13pm
Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) crews have extinguished a house fire overnight at Voyager Point near Liverpool in south-west Sydney, leaving the two-level home completely destroyed.
Fortunately firefighters were able to save the owner's irreplaceable Rolls Royce from the devastating fire.
The blaze broke out just after 6.00pm on Tuesday evening in the double-storey residence on Goodenia Court.
More than 30 firefighters and nine fire trucks responded to more than 30 Triple Zero (000) calls to the home on fire, with black smoke pouring from the property that could be seen from neighbouring properties.
On arrival, FRNSW crews found both levels of the house fully engulfed with fire.
Firefighters quickly got to work to extinguish the blaze on all sides of the property. Two aerial ladder pumper trucks assisted to contain the blaze from above. Crews also worked to protect the neighbouring properties.
Fortunately, the only occupant that was home at the time safely evacuated, and there were no pets on the property.
It took approximately two and a half hours to get the fire under control and contained. Firefighters were faced with significant structural collapse which challenged operations and concealed deep seated fires.
Crews remained on scene throughout the night to continue to extinguish the deep smouldering fire.
FRNSW specialist fire investigators are attending the scene today with NSW Police forensics to assist with investigating the cause of the fire.
