Bitter sweet smoke haze

A CFA spokeswoman said that five trucks attended the scene and the crews declared the fire under control about 9.05am.
Police attended the scene for traffic control and later examined the building.
Greater Dandenong CIU detectives said that the fire’s cause was not suspicious.
