More than 130 firefighters are battling an “insane” blaze threatening buildings at a recycling centre and spewing ash and smoke across Melbourne.
Factories near the Coolaroo blaze have been evacuated, while others have been locked down, with workers told to stay indoors and turn off the air conditioning.
MFB acting deputy chief officer Ken Brown says firefighters are trying to protect an engineering building near the main fire.
“We’re surrounding this fire, we’re trying to contain it, he told 3AW on Wednesday.
“It’s going to be an ongoing fight for some time.”
Clarissa Garrow works directly across the road from the fire and she says the blaze is “insane”.
“No one can get in and no one can get out,” she told AAP.
“It’s really bad.
“Ash and papers are flying everywhere.”
