Brown coal fire burns near Bacchus Marsh

Fire crews have extinguished a blaze that engulfed 120 tonnes of brown coal near Bacchus Marsh, west of Melbourne.

The Country Fire Authority was called to the fire at an industrial park on Rowsley Station Road, Maddingley about 6.30am on Sunday.

A CFA spokeswoman said there were several hoppers containing coal inside an industrial building.

"One of the hoppers is fully involved with fire," she said. "The conveyor belt has also caught fire."

It took about six hours for crews to extinguish the fire.

Ambulance Victoria and Victoria Police were also in attendance.
