Devastating house fire - Voyager Point

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.

Merry Christmas. Good job containing the residential property fire to one building and protection of adjoining structures. Also great salvage of the roller.

From a long time volunteer firefighter. Being I'm in the U.S., I don't understand the hydrants being covered below ground. Is this common? I did see another video of this same fire. Great coordinated effort. And that is an absolutely beautiful Rolls. Merry Christmas from the U.S.

@@jimbrewer2893 Yes it is common in Australia & New Zealand. Most hydrants are located on the corner of intersections and at intervals along cross streets. Standpipes are carried on the trucks.
These are screwed down onto the outlet 4 or 5 turns and then the water valve is opened using a T shaped key. Standpipes usually have 2 outlets. There's probably less chance of a hydrant being tampered with, being underground, not sure if that's the real reason though.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas 🎅 too from Australia 🇦🇺

We taught to lessen the impact for the home owner and for fire investigors, its not easy and its difficult as a fire-fighter knowing that sadly your unintentionally destroying memories and treasured items in the pursuit to extinguish a fire....this hit me hard at my 1st house fire so in my life and I tell others to keep copies of treasurer photos, or documents on a portable hard drive & jewellery, passports etc in a fire proof bag, convenient to grab if and when you need to evacuate mine is next to my bed

Yep...that's a "pretty significant" fire. Can't agree with that.
