Seeing I was wearing ROOF POLICE jumper the cops made a Joke about this place needing a new roof. All the street is blocked off and nobody allowed near it. George was woken today around 4am by explosion and rattling windows. We live 1km away. So must of been a big boom. Police say it is remarkable that nobody died when an explosion and fire ripped through a western Sydney supermarket early this morning. Ten people were injured after the explosion at the two-storey building on Station Street at Wentworthville at about 4:30am. Eight police officers suffered minor burns and smoke inhalation while rescuing an injured man from the rubble. The two men who were in the building at the time of the explosion are in a serious but stable condition. Firefighters had believed two more men were inside the building, but now say that is not the case. Locals have described the building as an Iranian supermarket with an apartment on top, while fire crews say it was a $2 shop. Video posted on social media shows the building burning fiercely as screams are heard above the sound of flames. Witness Katie Facaris saw a man who was stuck under burning bricks. "He was yelling, 'Help, get me water'," she said. Wentworthville is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Wentworthville is located 27 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district and is part of the Greater Western Sydney region. Wentworthville is split between the local government areas of the City of Parramatta and the City of Holroyd. Wentworthville is colloquially known as 'Wenty'. Wentworthville, Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains and, Wentworth in far western New South Wales, were named after the Wentworth family. A land grant of 2000 acres (8 km²) in this area was made in 1810 to D'Arcy Wentworth, the father of William Wentworth, the famous Australian explorer, barrister, newspaper publisher, politician and landowner. Another pioneer to the area, William Fullagar established the Star Inn on the corner of Ettalong Road and the Western Road (now the Great Western Highway). Fullagar also opened a cattle saleyards which became one of the principal ones for the colony. His family's estate "Essington House" is now the site of a Christian school. Fullagar Road is named after him. In the mid-1800s, a land boom attracted people into the area, land was subdivided for housing and small farms. Wentworth's holdings were sub-divided - amounting to 600 lots. The railway line had been put through on its way to Penrith, in 1864, but it was not until 1883 that Wentworthville got its own public railway station. Originally the railway station was called T. R. Smith's Platform but was renamed Wentworthville two years later. In 2007 the boundaries were redrawn and the northern part of Wentworthville became the suburb of Constitution Hill. Wentworthville is home to local rugby league team the Wentworthville Magpies (feeder club for Parramatta Eels), who play in the Jim Beam Cup and the NSW Cup (winning the 2008 NSW Cup), though the nearest NRL team is the nearby Parramatta Eels.
