Amazing footage of 150,000 tyres on fire in Australia

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.

YouTube Description:

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.

Well, it doesn't look like "150000" tires on fire. That location might have had that many tires, but not all of them were on fire.

Also why the fuck wouldn't they keep them in separate piles with some space between to prevent exactly this?

Because empty land is money lost!
