Thick black smoke can be seen in the area and locals are urged to stay indoors and shut all windows and doors. Ben, a radio listener who was near the airport said: "It looks like a large fire in an aeroplane hangar. I've seen multiple fire trucks going through — this is probably the fifth one now, and multiple emergency services heading out there. "It's pretty big." "You could see the gable in the front doors of the hangar billowing out black smoke, just coming out. Couldn't see flames but it was quite large — you could see some sort of fuel," he added. An airport spokesperson confirmed the incident in a statement, according to local media. "Parafield Airport has been closed to all air traffic," the statement said. "We will provide full support to the emergency services in their response to this incident."
