Summary
A major fire at an electrical kiosk in Beacon Hill has plunged around 1,700 homes across Sydney’s Northern Beaches into darkness, affecting areas like Belrose, Frenchs Forest, and Narraweena. The blaze destroyed the kiosk and a nearby tree, triggering a widespread blackout. Fire crews have contained the flames, but restoring power will take time as crews assess infrastructure damage. Residents are facing significant disruption, with no power to refrigerators, lights, or internet — especially those unprepared for an extended outage. Authorities are working urgently to get the lights back on. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
