Looks like it's all over at Shadowfax Winery bar the clean up.
More on that Cranbourne North house fire which a mother and six children thankfully escaped from Ebony Bowden:
Neighbour Stuart Black said he and his wife were evacuated when the property behind theirs went up in flames about 9.30pm.
Mr Black said the house was engulfed within minutes. A candle in one of the bedrooms of the six children is being blamed.
"From start to finish, it took about 10 minutes. The roof collapsed in 10 minutes," he said.
"I had only gone out for a cigarette 15 to 20 minutes before and saw the TV inside the home running, like nothing out of the normal."
3AW is reporting the fire at Shadowfax Winery took 40 minutes to bring under control.
K Road is isolated and it has been hard to get images of the winery fire. Police are not letting photographers through. Here is artist Jamie Brown's graphic showing the winery's location.
Updating the headlines:
The police are getting cheeky.
After yesterday's nightmare commute - the 7.53am Dandenong to Flinders Street will run direct from Richmond, not via the City Loop.
We now have 10 minute delays for five lines Alamein, Belgrave, Glen Waverley, Lilydale and South Morang.
All but the South Morang delays are due to ill passengers at Richmond and Kooyong.
Train Etiquette 101:
Skipping the Loop this morning:
On the Belgrave and Lilydale lines, the 7.49am Blackburn to Flinders Street will run direct from Richmond.
On the Frankston line, the 7.24am Carrum to Flinders Street will run direct from Richmond.
