I live less than 1.5kms from this fire, but didn't notice the smoke. Fortunately it went straight up and didn't hang around at ground level.
This is actually the second fairly major tyre fire in almost the same area in the last few months, the first one was one suburb over in Campbellfield.

150,000 tyres went up in flames at a yard in Melbourne creating a cloud of smoke that could be seen for miles. Report by Sarah Duffy.
