An enormous inferno is burning down a building next to Sydney’s busiest train station – with the huge fire spreading to a nearby apartment building.
Shocking vision emerged on Thursday afternoon showing a building ablaze on Randle Lane, on the corner of Elizabeth Street in Surry Hills.
Almost every room of the complex appears to have caught fire. The building is situated among dozens of high rises.
A car parked out the front of the building has since caught alight, amid what is being described as one of the biggest fires in the city in living memory.
One witness told Daily Mail Australia: ‘We’ve all evacuated. The smoke turned to fire so quickly. It was an empty building we think.

‘The size of the flames is incredible and the heat coming from it. Awful. It must be affecting our building across the road from it now for sure but we’ve been moved so far away we can’t see.’
Fire crews remain on the scene and are attempting to get the blaze under control.
Daily Mail Australia understands the entire roof has been destroyed so far, and there are concerns among workers in the area that the fire will spread to surrounding buildings.
