Fire and Rescue NSW crews have successfully battled a fire which engulfed part of a large mechanical workshop overnight at Rutherford.
FRNSW crews from Maitland, East Maitland and Rutherford rushed to the
business in Mustang Drive around 12.15am to discover flames had spread through
the reception area of the workshop.
Firefighters forced their way inside and attacked the blaze, containing it
in just over an hour, limiting the spread to nearby businesses.
They doused several spot fires and used positive pressure fans to disperse
smoke from the scene.
Firefighters have handed control of the site to New South Wales Police amid
suspicions about the cause of the fire.
Fire investigators are liaising with Police as investigations continue.
