NT Fire and Rescue Service (NTFRS) are responding to a structure fire in Alice Springs this morning.

NTFRS received a report of an industrial building on fire on George Crescent at approximately 6.10am.

Crews immediately attended the scene, finding the building fully engulfed in flames.

NTFRS crews worked quickly to contain the fire to the main structure, which has sustained extensive damage.

There have been no reported injuries at this stage.

The fire is still burning, and NTFRS crews will remain on scene to bring it under control.

NT Police and St John also attended the scene.

Due to the response, Larapinta Drive westbound from the Stuart Highway was closed, and drivers should follow local traffic directions.  

NTFRS will investigate the cause of the fire.

Acting Deputy Chief Fire Officer, Stephen Hunter, said members of the public should avoid the area.

“If you live or are working in the vicinity of the fire, please stay inside with your windows and doors closed where possible and avoid any outdoor activities.”
