Just after 11am on Friday, June 2 multiple fire brigades, ambulance and police were called out to Glen Rd, Ourimbah, to deal with an asbestos structure which was destroyed by fire.
Once on scene crews immediately got to work with firefighters wearing breathing apparatus to safely contain and extinguish the fire in the work/storage shed.
Also, firefighters were quick to contain and put out a number of smaller fires starting in nearby vegetation.
Fire crews remained at the site for several hours until the area was deemed safe and returned to the residents who were uninjured in the incident.
Rural Fire Service crews attended from Tuggerah, Narara, Ourimbah, Kariong and Matcham Holgate, together with NSW Fire and Rescue team from Wyoming and Berkeley Vale who assisted with crew decontamination.
