Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) crews have extinguished a building fire at Charlottes Pass in the NSW snowfields.
The emergency occurred around 6.30 in the morning, when flames took hold of a sewage treatment plant, housed in a two-level building, near Mount Kosciuszko's peak. Four fire trucks and 16 firefighters responded to the scene.
Rescue effort
Fire rescue crews established a relay to pump water to the isolated location. No injuries were reported and there was no need for any evacuations.
Two crews, using hose lines, gained control of the flames and extinguished the blaze. The fire is not being treated as suspicious but an investigation into the cause is continuing.
