Firefighters battle huge blaze near inner west e-bike store

Almost a dozen crews of firefighters have spent the early hours of this morning fighting a blaze near an e-bike repair store in Sydney’s inner west.

A warehouse has gone up in flames in Sydney’s inner west this morning.

About 10 fire trucks were called to the scene about 5am on Elizabeth St, Croydon, Fire and Rescue NSW said.

Firefighters and emergency services had evacuated several nearby businesses, including a petrol station, in case the fire spread.

The blaze took place in a warehouse that sits behind a local e-bike store and a row of shops.

Police at the time had closed of sections of Elizabeth St between Frederick and Edwidn St North.

When trucks first arrived the two-storey building was well alight but is now under control, despite the risk to buildings close by.

Video from nearby neighbouring suburban streets show the flames reaching high into the sky as locals watch from the yards of their homes before sunrise this morning.

No one has been injured and firefighters have accounted for everyone in nearby properties.
