Multiple vehicle fires cause chaos across Melbourne

Four separate vehicle fires occurred across Melbourne in a single day, including a diesel bus engulfed in flames on the Power Street off ramp in Southbank, a truck fire on the Tullamarine Freeway that caused hour-long traffic delays, a rubbish truck fire in Richmond sparked by crushed batteries, and a car fire in Reservoir. The Victorian Transport Association attributes most truck fires to poor vehicle maintenance, while authorities warn against disposing of batteries in household bins as they ignite when compacted in rubbish trucks.
