SYDNEY, June 24 (Xinhua) -- Around 20 fire trucks filled with 100 firefighters were called to a factory fire in Western Sydney early on Friday morning after a massive factory blaze broke out overnight.
The fire broke out about 3:30 a.m. local time in a car wrecking yard and spread to a blinds and awnings factory.
A furniture factory and an adjacent blinds and awnings factory have been destroyed.
Fire and Rescue New South Wales Superintendent Andrew Ticehurst said a partial wall collapsed at the wrecking yard due to the fire spreading.
There were no injuries but some people were evacuated from surrounding businesses, he said.
"The fire is still burning in a couple of pockets in the factories where the fires was burning intensely earlier this morning," he said.
"Firefighters are now using some large ladders just to direct some water streams out over the rubble to try and extinguish the pockets of fire."
He said the fire had been contained and mostly extinguished and resources were being scaled back.
Ticehurst said firefighters saved some pet fish from an adjoining factory's aquarium that had suffered some minor fire damage by using buckets of water.
The cause of the blaze has been known yet.
