A major fire breaks out at a high-voltage electrical substation in Homebush West, in Sydney. Firefighters are called to the scene, but they do not attempt to extinguish the blaze directly.
Both reports say crews are forced to let the fire burn itself out because of the electrical dangers involved in getting close to the equipment. The high-voltage nature of the site limits how close responders can operate safely.
While the sources are aligned on the core facts—the location, the substation type, and the decision not to approach—the available information does not include further details such as the cause of the fire, any injuries, or the impact on power supply. The reports focus on the immediate response and the safety reasoning behind the chosen approach.
