Sydney’s Circular Quay was blanketed in thick smoke after a building site went up in flames on the morning of Tuesday, February 13.

The Daily Telegraph reported 13 fire crews were sent to contain the blaze and all workers on the site had been evacuated.

The building is on the corner of Pitt Street and Alfred Street, and the area is a main thoroughfare for tourists and city workers. Credit: Aaron Markie via Storyful
