Firefighters will work into the night to bring a large blaze at a Melbourne factory under control.
Fire broke out in the flooring factory at Dandenong South at about 6pm (AEST) on Thursday, sending thick smoke into nearby suburbs.
More than 100 CFA and MFB firefighters were working to bring the blaze under control and aerial appliances were attacking the flames from above, a CFA spokeswoman said.
"It is expected to be a protracted incident into the night, because once the fire is under control we have still got the blacking out and cleaning up to do," she said.
The cause of the fire is yet to be established.
