A huge column of thick black smoke, a factory quickly engulfed in flames.
00:08
We were walking on the factory inside and we were hearing a couple of loud noises,
00:13
and we were not sure what's going to be happening inside.
00:16
Within five minutes or so there were explosions everywhere,
00:19
there were aerosol cans going off, black smoke and flames probably 25, 30 foot out the top.
00:25
Firefighters arrived on scene within six minutes to find the factory on Kimberley Road fully consumed by fire.
00:32
We had some concerns for the factory immediately north.
00:34
The crews in this sector behind us have worked incredibly hard to contain the fire.
00:38
200 workers in factories on Kimberley and Mickle Street were evacuated from their workplaces.
00:44
Some left equipment and vehicles as firefighters worked to control the blaze.
00:49
The factory is a wholesaler for fire lighting products like matches. No one was injured.
00:54
It was quite scary. We were just trying to get what we could out of there.
00:58
Despite concerns about it spreading to neighbouring workplaces, including one with hydraulics,
01:03
Fire Rescue Victoria says the blaze was contained to the one factory.
01:07
Whilst there might be a little bit of smoke damage in that in surrounding factories,
01:10
we're pretty confident that the fire is contained to the one factory.
01:13
Firefighters say the wind made it a challenging fire to contain.
01:17
It took four hours to bring it under control.
01:20
The cause of the fire is still being investigated.
