Default Anyone work near Dandenong

Lots of black smoke and explosions coming from near Frankston Dandenong Road. Could be two Commodores having a drag race not sure. We are watching it from work but we are a far distance away.

Hope every one is safe - thick black smoke is has been rising up for some time

Off the ABC news website.

"Around 60 CFA firefighters are tackling a fire at a chemical factory in Dandenong.

20 CFA vehicles including 15 fire trucks were called to K&H Surface Technologies just before 3pm this afternoon.

The factory is approximately 50 metres by 50 metres."
