Building fire in Surry Hills

[GA45]

Probably a property of @Blue_boost

Renters had turned into squatters only one way to get them out

 

[Mr 95%]

According to the ABC the fire has been effectively contained..

 

[chemdog]

quite possibly deliberately lit apparently

Insurance job most definitely.

i heard it's a knock down job and Jean Nassiff will be heading up the new construction site.

Mods pin this @Hacky McAxe .

Is it because he’s Lebanese?

A befuddled bin chicken was hurried away wrapped in a blanket by emergency workers, and multiple journalists had to be treated for hysteria, during what can only be described as Sydney's 9/11.

A DA was put in to turn it into a luxury hotel...

Well it's just been fast tracked.

 

[John Matrix]

May not be dodgy but it sure looks it.

- DA for hotel put on hold for some reason
- people seen running from it prior to the fire.

On 7s report the person they spoke was making me laugh, so expressive and full of detail.

Always makes me a little suspicious when abandoned buildings catch on fire..

Let’s hope no one is hurt of killed..

Overseas investors did that to a heritage building up here in Brisbane many years ago, so the government took the land off them.

if they don’t pay on time. I knew an old landlord that taught me my craft, he died a good 20 years ago but he would have smoked the renters out if they didn’t pay, my word he would

 

[Berries]

Defo lit on fire like the New Zealand hostel fire last week

It's tough love.
What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger!

As a building manager I would not want to be involved in this one. I wonder who the independent fire practitioner was who signed off on the Annual Fire Safety Statement? Building are designed not to go up like this. I saw it all as well was like nothing I’ve witnessed.

The place wasn't too far from my office. The building itself was heritage listed so couldn't be touched. I'm guessing that, as it was abandoned, there was obviously no running electricity going into the building, the fire must've come from another fire WITHIN the building. Now, as squatters frequent abandoned buildings like that for shelter, they only need one thing - heat. I'm guessing that they brought a barrel into to the building and lit it up. Probably the bottom of the barrel started getting a little hot, even perhaps burnt through, and the floorboards in that building (that's what they were built like back then) went up, and that's all it took.

Or the guy that put in the DA burnt it down...

How can anyone speculate this fire may of been deliberately lit?

Conspiracy theorists the lot of you!
