Fire threatens heritage-listed building
A gas-fuelled fire raged at a heritage-listed building in the Australian Technology Park at Redfern tonight reports Louise Hall in the Sun Herald of September 2, 2007.
Police said a gas main supplying an air-conditioning system at the two-storey International Business Centre caught alight, sending flames up to five metres high.
After receiving an emergency call at 8.40pm, fire fighters - including a crew in an aerial appliance - worked to keep the fire from spreading to the building, which is part of the former Eveleigh Railway Workshops.
Crew from gas company AGL attended soon after to cut off the gas supply.
The building was spared major damage.
