I find your lack of punctuation disturbing.

You also left out a preposition (such as in, on, of, for, or to) indicating the relationship between two items in the sentence.
Conder is the suburb named after the painter, a condor is a bird native to the Americas.
Nor is there a “Tuggers” police station.

You might want to tell that to the 100 or so coppers that work at Tuggeranong Station then

UPDATE:

The roads are now open to the public and residents can now return to there homes…

Then what do you call the police station in Tuggers?

ER! ER! ER!

since when was conder called condor?

Seriously, do they even have the interwebs down that way?

Did they close off the paths too, or just the roads?

‘Tuggers’ police station, technically not correct but recognisable.
Located in Greenway not far from the Tuggeranong Hyperdome shopping centre.
The locals call the area ‘Tuggers’ for short.

A bit tense there Skidbladnir ?

I’ve never heard of Conder (I’d have called it Condor too)! Is it real?

It was a case of
Control+c
Control+v

The Condor/Conder bit was my fault tho

I believe it was a trailer of some sort that was on fire and contained oxy-acetylene bottles that could potentially explode. There were apparently two other oxy-acetylene bottles near to the trailer as well so fire brigade closed the area off as a safety precaution.

Actually, it is a fire which could have ‘four oxy-acetylene gas tanks’ explode.
