No injuries to staff or emergency services in Melbourne factory blaze: Fire Rescue Victoria

Fire Rescue Victoria Deputy Commissioner North & West Michelle Cowling said crews would probably remain on site over coming days to fully extinguish the Derrimut fire.

Major arterial roads are starting to reopen.

Cowling said:

Our crews have been working around the clock since 11.20am this morning and have brought this significant fire under control.

There have been no reports of any injuries to staff or to any of the emergency services on site.

The cause of this fire will be fully investigated by WorkSafe, FRV, Victoria police and other agencies.

The factory contained a range of chemicals, including kerosene, fuel, methylated spirits and ethanol.

We cannot leave any smouldering embers.

It has been a huge fire and Fire Rescue Victoria firefighters have done an amazing job, relying on their training and professionalism to bring this fire under control in such a short amount of time.
