Heavy rain on Sunday night brought trees down on an unoccupied car at Lapstone and a roof at Lawson.
Blue Mountains SES commander John Hughes said they received a call for help at Lapstone at 3am on Monday. Working with a crew from Fire and Rescue NSW Glenbrook and council, they removed the tree which was also blocking Darwin Drive.
The SES also removed a tree from a roof at Lawson on Monday morning. Mr Hughes said they provided advice for four other jobs, mostly to do with leaky roofs.
Then about 2pm on Monday, a fuel tanker crashed on the highway at Lawson. Fire and Rescue crews from Lawson, Wentworth Falls and Katoomba attended, and with the assistance of a St Marys HAZMAT unit, spilled fuel was safely removed. In the 24 hours to 9am on Monday, 99mm of rain fell at Katoomba.
Woman spat on
A 79-year-old Blackheath woman was on a train to Katoomba about 7pm on July 16, when an unknown woman allegedly spat on her, with saliva landing on her face.
"The incident was unprovoked and the offender then walked away," said Blue Mountains Police Detective Inspector Scott McAlpine. Both women left the train at Katoomba.
The matter is under investigation, with police appealing for witnesses and anyone who may have phone footage, to contact Katoomba Police on 4782 8199 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
