Major blaze engulfs Golden Top Bakery in Marrickville

·

A large fire broke out at Golden Top Bakery on Barclay Street in Marrickville early Monday, November 24, sending thick smoke over surrounding suburbs.

Sixteen fire trucks and around 60 firefighters responded to the blaze shortly before 6.30am.

Golden Top Bakery is a Greek-owned business well known for producing authentic Greek-style pita and souvlaki bread which is distributed to yeeros shops across Australia.

Fire and Rescue NSW Superintendent Adam Dewberry said crews initially entered the building but had to switch to “defensive positions” outside due to the intensity of the flames.

Firefighters continue to tackle the blaze from both ground and aerial appliances.

The incident follows another major fire on Sunday, which destroyed a surfboard factory in Brookvale.
