Default AC34 SYD/YVR reporting fire onboard.
Air Canada is reportedly dumping fuel due to the detection of a fire onboard over Sydney. Has anyone heard any more on this, I received a very brief message a few minutes ago.

I'm curious as to where you got this info from...

The pilot told the ARFF on 131.0 that any smoke dissipated once the power was disconnected from the galley oven.

Aircraft has been refuelled and expects to depart this afternoon.

Registration is C-FIUA
