A fire erupted at the Sutherland Shire Auto Centre in Sydney’s south overnight, destroying businesses and storage units.
Firefighters arrived at the scene in Kirrawee to find the three level building well alight and smoke billowing from the roof.
More than 50 firefighters managed to get the blaze under control, with no injuries reported. Investigations are underway to find the cause of the fire.
Directors of the Centre, Peter and Sonia Paloumpis, said on Facebook: “It is with great sadness that Sutherland Shire Auto Centre will be temporarily closed” as they look “for a shop to work out of to keep the Aussie dream going for everyone.”
“Our customers support has been phenomenal and your loyalty is important to us during this tough time.”
