A firefighter has suffered burns to his face after a hybrid car caught on fire in the suburb of Camperdown in Sydney’s inner west.
The cabin of the hybrid Volvo SUV caught on fire on Ross Street at about 4.40 a.m. on June 13, according to Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW).
Fire crews arrived quickly at the scene to find the car “smoldering,” authorities explained.
“When a firefighter opened a car door, a flashover occurred, causing minor burns to his face,” FRNSW said.
The firefighter was treated at the scene by ambulance paramedics for superficial burns and minor smoke inhalation.
The lithium-ion battery under the cabin appeared cool and intact and was not identified as the cause of the fire by FRNSW at this stage....
