The driver safely dumped the load in a pavilion carpark, where Fire and Rescue NSW responded quickly to extinguish the flames. The fire is suspected to have been caused by improper battery disposal. The council is conducting an investigation into the cause, and the estimated damage is $10,000.
NEWS
On Monday morning, January 20, 2025, a garbage truck in Kiama caught fire in the rear compactor while operating on Manning Street. At 7:00 AM, the fire was detected, and the driver immediately acted by safely parking the vehicle and dumping the load in the pavilion carpark, minimizing potential harm to the public. Fire and Rescue NSW responded swiftly and successfully extinguished the fire.
The council suspects that the fire was caused by improper battery disposal, a known hazard in waste management. While the fire was controlled swiftly and no injuries were reported, the incident caused an estimated damage of $10,000, including the cleanup and the disposal of the vehicle.
Kiama Council has worked with Avcon to manage the site and clean up any debris. The council will conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of the fire and complete an incident report and debriefing. Council staff were commended for their quick response, ensuring that the public was safe, and no one was injured. Due to the disruption, minor delays in bin services in the Kiama Local Government Area (LGA) were expected.
This fire serves as a reminder of the importance of early fire detection systems, which could have potentially minimized the damage. Traditional fire detection systems often react only when smoke and flames become visible, but advanced thermal imaging solutions, such as Planck Vision TNC cameras, can detect heat anomalies before they escalate into a full-blown fire. Early detection not only protects property but also helps save lives and reduces financial losses.

Scalable Solutions for Early Fire Detection
For early fire detection, Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras are far superior to traditional systems that can alert to fire only after the visible consequences of smoke and flame are present. TNC cameras can help to prevent the destruction of goods and loss of life by surveilling for abnormal heat conditions before fires erupt.
