Faulty monitoring equipment was blamed for raising the alarm over a potential hazard, which led to evacuations in Sydney's south-west. Firefighters were alerted after alarms were activated in a telephone exchange at Peakhurst, warning the building had filled with potentially explosive gas, possibly methane. Crews raced to the Telstra building in Baumans Road shortly before 2pm (AEST) and immediately cordoned off the entire 1km road and evacuated up to 100 people from the area. But when firefighters used their own equipment to monitor vapour levels within the building, there was no sign of dangerous levels of any gas. Almost two hours later firefighters determined the monitoring equipment within the building was faulty, a spokesman said. Homicide detectives said they believed missing toddler Daniel Thomas had been abducted from the home of his babysitter, who has admitted leaving him alone for three hours last Friday afternoon, when he went missing. Detective Senior Sergeant Rowland Legg said it was unlikely the sick two-year-old could have wandered from the house in Myrtleford, in north-east Victoria.
