Thousands of swimmers have been evacuated after the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre became engulfed in flames on Monday afternoon.
Fire Rescue New South Wales said crews rushed to the sporting precinct after they received multiple calls about a fire at the swimming venue.
“FRNSW crews are responding to reports of a building fire after multiple calls have been received by ‘000’ with black smoke issuing from the roof of a building on Olympic Boulevard,” Fire Rescue NSW said.

Rooftop Barbie.
The problem of solar panels causing rooftop fires was precisely the reason Wallmart removed all solar panels from all of its outlets.
Amazon also. Deactivated all their rooftop solar installations. They’ll gladly sell solar panels to the public but don’t want them on their own warehouses. Let’s put them on schools and large gathering places instead.
I’m waiting for an elementary school to go up in flames.
The fire fighters were late arriving to fight the roof top fire because they were so busy putting out electric car fires all over Sydney.
The Fire Chief said “It’s worse than we thought … unprecedented!!”
Must be due to climate change!!
Hmm..
I’ve yet to hear of this kind of fire on an RV…could it be that 99.999% of all RV’s have a WHITE Roof..??
I’ve got 400W mounted on my 34′ Travelaire TT346, Moving outa my 2000/mo Closet of an apartment July 01 and staying at a Yr round RV park just outside of Calgary: $930/mo. Includes Power/Water & Sewer.
Had an awesome Insulated skirt built, Heat racing for the gray/black tanks, Ht’d water hose, along with reflective aluminized 14″ sq Foam pieces that fit into the 3 Ceiling fans. Lot comes with a Fire pit to boot..!! I’m actually looking forward to it. While saving me ~1000/mo. StarLink to come..!!
All Thanks to that Narcistic Pedophilic NAZI POS in the PM’s office bringing in 3-4 Million sub Saharan garbage, NO one can afford to Rent an apartment in Calgary… its just gone CRAZY here.
Solar is nice on an RV, Boat or Cabin….not so sure it’s a good thing seeing Massive SOLAR fields being placed on Arable Land – them & the wind monstrosities. Neither of which produce RELIABLE CONTINUOUS POWER
“I’ve yet to hear of this kind of fire on an RV”
A “working” fire? Yeah, me too…
Only Gang Green policies could set a pool on fire.
Perhaps solar rooftop fires are this generation’s version of the Cuyahoga River fires?

Dozens of rooftop solar fires … and no one cared … until?
What’s more depressing…actually it’s downright sad when you think about it, is the above video on the link provided of an energy head…slash realist… defending himself against environmentalists as to the how’s and whys about why Australia needs Nat Gas to “smooth out” electricity concerns from 2050 and beyond. He makes total sense… environmentalists not so much.
These are the people we’re up against.
