Early this morning in Sydney's Inner West, a hybrid car suddenly burst into flames, causing chaos and concern. In the midst of trying to extinguish the blaze, a firefighter unfortunately sustained injuries. The incident occurred on Ross Street in Camperdown at 4:40 am, when a Volvo SUV caught on fire.
According to reports, the car had been emitting smoke earlier in the morning but the situation escalated when the firefighters opened the car's door. Suddenly, flames engulfed the vehicle in a flashover blaze, resulting in one firefighter getting hit in the face. Thankfully, the brave firefighter only suffered from smoke inhalation and minor burns on his face. He was promptly treated and taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure.
The fire was so intense that it completely destroyed the car's interior. However, the lithium-Ion battery situated under the cabin remained intact and cool, despite the raging flames. The Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) team confirmed that the battery was not the cause of the fire. They reassured the public that the battery was not a potential threat.
In the wake of this incident, FRNSW's Fire Investigation and Research Unit is currently conducting a thorough investigation to determine the exact cause of the blaze. The safety of the community is their top priority, and they are working diligently to provide answers and prevent any future occurrences.
Amidst the chaos and damage, it is fortunate that no one was seriously hurt. The firefighter's bravery and quick response played a crucial role in containing the fire and preventing further damage. As the investigation continues, it serves as a reminder to always remain cautious and vigilant, especially when dealing with potential fire hazards.
