A shopping centre in the Melbourne suburb of Frankston, Victoria, was evacuated on December 21 after several gas cylinders caught fire and exploded just after 7 pm, officials said. The explosions involved cylinders for forklifts.
The Bayside Shopping Centre was evacuated as a precaution, the Country Fire Authority (CFA) said, while firefighters worked to decant and flame off some of the leaking bottles. There were no injuries reported and minimal damage to surrounding areas, the CFA said.
The incident occurred shortly after a car was driven into pedestrians near Flinders Street station in Melbourne, causing several injuries. Police said they believed it was a deliberate act.
