There is a fire in West Hellbourne

What is it, who knows, all I can say is it a regular occurrence:

More than 30 fire trucks are responding to a large factory fire in Derrimut, in Melbourne’s west.

Fire Rescue Victoria said there had been a large chemical explosion at the factory on Swann Drive, resulting in a significant fire.

Crews arrived at the scene about 11:20am.

It might be bikers. It might be god knows what.

All I can say is ignition takes place with bizarre regularity. A great mushroom cloud looms over the city.

Is it the end of times?

Burn, baby, burn.

Hellbourne is burning.
