  • 2026-09-16 · Edited before publication: The source says 14 crews tackled a blaze at the Amcor Plastics site and that neighbouring units are understood to have been gutted; it does not establish damage to Amcor's own plant, so 'Fire damages Amcor plant' overstates. Headline and consequence line softened to match.
