EXTRA ladder trucks have been called to a large blaze at a Sydney paper mill where more than 100 firefighters are battling to stop it spreading to surrounding buildings.
The fire broke out in stacked bales of paper at the mill at Matraville around 11am (AEDT) on Thursday but later spread to a three-storey building.
Three fire engines with ladders were deployed to pour water on the fire but further ladder trucks were called later in the afternoon, with the fire taking hold in the roof of an adjacent unoccupied factory.
A Fire & Rescue NSW spokesman said firefighters had extinguished burning oil at the site but it could take a long time to contain the main blaze.
He said the paper bales where the fire took strong hold could burn for days.
Workers were evacuated from the site but no injuries had been reported.
Botany Road was closed eastbound at Macauley Street in Port Botany on Thursday afternoon, with motorists being diverted into Beauchamp Road.
