Something appears to be very much on fire in the city. Edit: kings way appears to be closed, looks to be near crown/convention centre.

Fire in Southbank.

@CEOofmyhouse56 @TinyBreak I'm on William & Collins corner and from here it looks like a standard heavy raincloud, but something does smell off... 🤔

Fire in Southbank. 12 vehicles attending a factory fire on Clarendon St near Haig St.

@CEOofmyhouse56 yup, confirmed in VicEmergency app, but warning seems pretty minimal. From that angle it just looks like normal storm clouds.

Smoke? Any other details? I'm facing west so I can't see the city

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

South west from Melbourne central. A few alarms and fire trucks.
