Fire fighters are continuing to battle a large blaze at a Sutherland Shire storage facility, after it burst into flames on Friday night.
NSW Fire and Rescue were called to The Boulevarde around 8pm on Friday night, following reports of a fire at a commercial building, with several additional units called to the scene.
A NSW Fire and Rescue spokesman said as of Saturday afternoon, six fire trucks and 30 firefighters were continuing to battle the blaze more than 12 hours after they were called to the scene.
The spokesman said it was difficult to access the facility due to partial roof and wall collapses.
He said firefighters were working to extinguish hotspots at the site, while several lines of inquiry into what may have started the blaze were being investigated.
A NSW Ambulance spokeswoman said two people were assessed at the scene shortly after the fire broke out, but neither needed transport to hospital.
Paramedics remain on standby.
The storage facility has been contacted for comment.
