A massive fire has razed a waste management facility in Western Sydney as chemical supplies fuelled the flame, which rose 150 metres in the air.
The inferno prompted the deployment of more than 200 firefighters to an industrial complex on Kurrajong Street in North St Marys.
NSW Fire and Rescue has not disclosed any cause of the blaze.
NSW Fire Commissioner Jeremy Fewtrell described the explosion as a very ‘intense’ event.
