A terrible incident this morning shook Sydney's south-west as a house fire broke out, leaving many injured, including a five-month-old baby. The flames originated in a granny flat and quickly spread, prompting multiple calls to emergency services at 7.41am.
The first responders, on their way to the location in Fairfield, were taken aback by the sheer amount of smoke billowing from the area. Realizing the severity of the situation, they immediately called for backup. As the situation escalated, a total of nine fire trucks were dispatched to the scene, with a team of 36 firefighters working tirelessly to contain the blaze.
Their efforts paid off as they managed to bring the fire under control in both the granny flat and the adjacent two-storey main residence. However, the chaos had already taken its toll as three adults and two children, including the five-month-old baby, had to escape the inferno. Luckily, paramedics were on the scene to treat the two children, but the baby had to be rushed to the hospital due to smoke inhalation. Fortunately, the injuries were not life-threatening.
As the dust settles, fire investigators will begin their examination of the scene to determine the cause of the fire. In the meantime, the brave firefighters continue to work towards fully extinguishing any remaining flames. This tragic event serves as a reminder of the importance of fire safety and the bravery of those who put their lives on the line to protect others.
