Marrickville fire: Massive fire breaks out at a house just blocks from Anthony Albanese’s Sydney home
A large contingent of firefighters are trying to contain a blaze just blocks away from Anthony Albanese’s Sydney home.
Fire and Rescue NSW confirmed 30 fires and 12 trucks are trying to extinguish a blaze at a single-storey house on Hilltop Avenue in Marrickville in the city’s trendy inner west.
Several locals posted photos on social media of the spectacular fire, which reportedly took place in an abandoned house above local playing fields.
No injuries have been reported so far.
A woman claimed on social media that the ‘massive house fire’ started in the vacant detached wooden house.

It is understood the fire did not spread to nearby houses and the Prime Minister’s home was not threatened.
The Prime Minister lives in the same part of the cosmopolitan inner-city suburb, a 20-minute drive from Sydney’s CBD.
‘There is currently a major house fire in Marrickville. I hope everyone is doing well,” another man posted on X.
The house fire, which spread to a home near the Cooks River, sent plumes of smoke rising above busy streets
