  • FRNSW investigates cause of the large Oyster Bay house fire.
  • Fire started in garage; 30 firefighters prevented spread to nearby properties.
  • No injuries reported; house destroyed despite firefighters' efforts.

Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) is trying to determine the cause of a large fire that has destroyed a two-storey home at Oyster Bay, in Sydney's south.

FRNSW received multiple Triple Zero (000) calls about the blaze in Cook Road just before 11 am. The occupants safely escaped the fire, which started in the ground-floor garage and spread throughout the house.

No injuries reported

No injuries have been reported. Around 30 firefighters from eight fire trucks, including an aerial platform, battled the flames and stopped them from spreading to neighboring properties, but were unable to save the home.

Once the scene is mopped up, FRNSW investigators will begin examining the scene to establish the cause of the blaze.
