Firefighters at a wood-yard blaze in Byron Bay’s Centennial Circuit on Saturday were concerned the fire could have turned very nasty after a gas bottle on the site began to vent.

NSW Fire & Rescue received several calls around 9.20am Saturday about the fire and firefighters arrived to find small corrugated iron industrial shed in the timber yard was was well alight.

A neighbouring building threatened by fire was protected by brigades from Byron Bay and Bangalaow.
