More than 100 firefighters are battling a large fire at a rubbish tip in Sydney’s south-west.<\/p>\n

Crews and more than a dozen trucks are currently at a waste transfer facility on Barrow Road in Spring Farm, near Camden, which was first reported about 11.30am. \ufeff<\/p>\n

Fire and Rescue NSW Superintendent Adam Dewberry said the flames were situated at a 100-metre-long and 40-metre-high shed that contains several waste products for processing.<\/p>\n

\"AA massive fire has engulfed a rubbish tip in Sydney’s southwest, \ufeffcausing black plumes of smoke to billow over the area. (Nine)<\/p>\n

“We do have it contained, however, it is going to smoulder for some time,” he said. \ufeff<\/p>\n

“The information we have using thermal image cameras is the fire is burning in a pit, which is extremely difficult.<\/p>\n

“There is a fair bit of smoke around, but it is in a pretty isolated area, to the south and east of the residents.”<\/p>\n

Dewberry said the chemicals, lithium batteries and other batteries at the facility have not been impacted, and firefighters have been able to stop the fire from spreading to those materials.<\/p>\n
