Factory fire out

Fire engulfs the factories. Picture: KEITH PAKENHAM – CFA

By CASEY NEILL

THE CFA has given a Keysborough factory fire the all-clear.
A warning was in place for Keysborough and Dandenong residents and Eastlink motorists due to thick black smoke billowing from the Cambria Road blaze.
The CFA removed it about 11am, but advised that Cambria and Bridge roads remained closed.
“People located within the area are now able to resume normal activities,” the CFA said.
“Please open windows and doors to ventilate your home or business.”
Crews from more than 20 fire trucks battled the fire, which started about 3.30am and engulfed two factories and threatened others.
