Smoke forces airport evacuation

A customs office at Sydney airport has been evacuated with about 40 people forced from a building where smoke is coming from an unknown source.

Authorities were called about 8.30pm Sunday after an automatic alarm went off, and three NSW Fire and Rescue Service engines and an airport vehicle are on scene.

“On arrival they noticed smoke coming from the building,” a NSWFRS spokesman said.

“Firefighters are still checking the source of the smoke. They have not located that.”
