Sydney was set ablaze as Australia's Olympic Park in Sydney caught fire Sunday as the fire broke out after a cigarette butt thrown away in the area, according to reports.

The fire led to the evacuation of about 500 people from the Sydney Aquatic Center and a total of 1500 people were voided from the crime zone.

The authorities are on a lookout for the person who discarded the cigarette that led to the massive damage. The CCTV cameras are being scanned to track who committed the crime. According to reports, about 80 cars were caught up in the wildfire causing damage. Among were 47 cars that were totally wrecked and the rest were badly damaged. Five people were reported injured.

The winds led the fire burning the cars until a thick smoke started to rise. The vicinity was packed with families as the Ryde-Carlile Challenge Cup meet was being held. The fire, which started at 3 p.m., had been reported to have turned 47 cars into ashes in an hour.

The thick smoke smothered the park and there were LPG tanks that were exploding with loud pops heard near the cars set on fire.

About 50 firefighters were deployed with a tough job to conduct before they controlled rapidly the spreading fire. It was Australia's most popular Olympic park which witnessed Olympic Games 2000.
