A GRASS and scrub fire in Dandenong South on Friday came incredibly close to factories and a new housing estate near the Dandenong Bypass reserve.
MFB crews joined firefighters from several south-east CFA branches to contain the blaze, which closed the bypass to traffic until about 6pm.
Incident controller Rick Owen from the Dandenong brigade said strong winds pushed the fire away from houses. Police and the CFA are investigating the cause of the fire.
