This is the best summary I could come up with:
Residents in Melbourne's south-east have been told to shelter indoors as firefighters battle to contain a blaze at a paint factory.
Emergency authorities say the fire has taken hold in the building on Superior Drive in Dandenong South and strong winds have blown smoke south.
Authorities urged residents in and around Dandenong South, Bangholme and Lyndhurst to take shelter indoors and close doors and windows.
About 30 fire trucks have been sent to the scene and Superior Drive and Hammond Road have been closed.
