NSW: Man dies after yard fire in Sydney
A man has died after a grass fire in the yard of a home in Sydney's north-west.
Firefighters and police were called to the home in Lane Cove Road, North Ryde, yesterday
about 12.45pm (AEDT) following reports of a fire in the yard.
They found the 46-year-old man collapsed in the yard and began CPR until an ambulance arrived.
A spokesman says he was taken to Ryde Hospital, but died a short time later.
Initial inquiries indicated the fire was lit to remove overgrown vegetation.
The fire is not being treated as suspicious and a post mortem examination is expected
to be held at Glebe Morgue in the next few days.
