Surprised this hasn't popped up yet, but theres a lot of damaged vehicles available in Sydney.

Firefighters have contained a huge blaze which destroyed about 120 vehicles at a car yard in Sydney's south west.


Police and firefighters were called to a Pickles Auctions car yard at Milperra at around 6:00am (AEDT).

Around 120 vehicles went up in flames at the family-owned business, with the damage bill estimated to be hundreds of thousands of dollars.

No-one was injured but firefighters said they had difficulty getting into the yard because of an electric gate.

Superintendent Tom Cooper from NSW Fire and Rescue said the cause of the fire was not yet known, and it was being treated as suspicious.

"At this stage it's suspicious, it's not quite known what caused these cars to catch alight," he said.

"There's no reports of any injuries, it's obviously an isolated space."

He said all the damaged cars had been due to be auctioned.

"They're all damaged prior to coming here. There's around about 100 cars in racks, they're stacked three high," he explained.
"Somehow they've caught fire. We're not sure how it started, but obviously the radiant heat from the fire has caused the remaining cars to catch alight and it has severely damaged some of the other cars in racks adjacent to them."
