Randwick evacuated

An urgent evacuation of Randwick depot took place on January 27.

Fire alarms sent the workers rushing into King St as evacuation procedures kicked into place.

The depot was shut down for approximately 45 minutes as local fire crews investigated the cause.

While no fire was found interesting questions have been raised about the potential cause of the blaze.

Local management was questioned and the lack of water pressure was blamed, however it could have been a toaster, burning pizza box or a faulty sprinkler unit.

The Union is pleased to announce that P TIPS wasn’t used to determine if the depot was in fact alight.

No Members of the R.T.B.U were harmed during this evacuation.
