Something appears to be very much on fire in the city. Edit: kings way appears to be closed, looks to be near crown/convention centre.
Fire in Southbank.
@CEOofmyhouse56 @TinyBreak and real time AQI monitoring doesn't seem to have picked up anything?
@CEOofmyhouse56 @TinyBreak I'm on William & Collins corner and from here it looks like a standard heavy raincloud, but something does smell off... 🤔
Fire in Southbank. 12 vehicles attending a factory fire on Clarendon St near Haig St.
@CEOofmyhouse56 yup, confirmed in VicEmergency app, but warning seems pretty minimal. From that angle it just looks like normal storm clouds.
Roger that. Over and out.

Sorry, it's just me walking around super hot like 😬 😅
