Tullamarine grass fire under control

Thirty-five firefighters responded to multiple calls of a grass and scrub fire impinging on multiple factories on Tuesday afternoon, 27 January.

Crews arrived on scene within seven minutes to find an area of approximately 100m by 20m on fire, and escalated the response.

The fire was growing steadily and spreading rapidly towards a factory area.

Fire trucks were placed strategically to protect the factories and used to attack the fire.

The fire was deemed under control by 3.30pm before it could damange any factories.

Crews will remain on scene to ensure the fire is fully extinguished.

CFA (Country Fire Authority) units were also in attendance assisting.
