Building fire in Surry Hills

[SARGE]

Old heritage building near Central is burning hard.

Anyone in the area stay away and stay safe.

Between Elizabeth and Chalmers Streets.

Surrounded by residential units. Fire started to jump to other buildings.

Looking like it will collapse.

Just hope there wasn't any squatters there.

It was built in 1912. Used to be a hat factory.

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

Let’s hope no one is hurt of killed..

The heat from the fire can be felt 150m away.
