A 44-year-old man has been rescued and two others hospitalised after a powerful explosion tore through an apartment complex in Lidcombe, in Sydney’s west, on the morning of June 13.
The blast, which occurred just before 6.30 a.m. at a three-storey unit block on Clarence Street, prompted a large-scale emergency response, with more than 50 Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) firefighters, 16 trucks, and NSW Police attending the scene.
