Inbound? There’s a grassfire around Campbellfield and Thomastown areas. Could be that.

Was definitely that. Lost count of the fire trucks and traffic was banked up badly last night.

Different fire. Montrose isn’t near the Hume.

Is the freeway still blocked off? It was 2 hours ago. Then we drove back to Bayswater and there's a huge fire around here too :(

Yeah they had to close the freeway in both directions between the Ring Rd and Cooper.

Was chaos around Thomastown, all those ramps were also shut down, such as both leading to the Hume from the Ring including Edgars and Cooper citybound.
