Two prisoners have been taken to hospital after a fire at Silverwater jail in west Sydney.
The blaze broke out in the laundry of Silverwater Remand and Reception Centre just after 7.30pm yesterday.
It took fire crews nearly three hours to extinguish the flames and the laundry facility suffered major damage.
A pair of inmates suffering from smoke inhalation were taken to Westmead Hospital under police guard.
Police have said there is no evidence to suggest the fire was suspicious.
