Mulch fire sparks advice warning

A sawdust-pile fire in Dandenong South’s industrial area has sparked an advice message for surrounding businesses and residences.

Eight fire-fighting trucks including a ladder-platform appliance swarmed to the 1000-cubic-metre fire in Ordish Road about 5.05pm on Thursday 18 April.

It took 50 minutes to bring the fire under control.

Emergency Vic issued a warning to avoid the area due to heavy smoke, which was drifting across Eastlink motorway.

The southern end of Ordish Road was closed.
