A 62-year-old from Eaglemont and a 44-year-old from Port Melbourne were taken to hospital with serious injuries on Friday and both remained in a stable condition on Sunday.<\/p>\n

A third man was unaccounted for until the site was cleared for entry by recovery workers on Saturday night. His body was recovered on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The arson and explosives squad members along with other emergency services, council and fire rescue urban search and Rescue team all worked together to search for the missing worker.<\/p>\n

Two firefighters, a male in his 30s and a male in his 40s, also received burns to the upper body and were taken to hospital with minor injuries when there was an explosion inside the Superior Drive factory as they were battling the blaze on Friday.<\/p>\n

More than 120 firefighters and more than 40 vehicles were called to the scene to fight the fire.<\/p>\n

Fire Rescue Victoria assistant chief fire officer Greg Christison said on Friday that specialist firefighters were dealing with \u201cvery challenging conditions\u201d while battling the blaze.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fires involves a factory that has a lot of liquid chemicals in it and it\u2019s a very challenging complex fire to manage and mitigate at the moment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re very challenging conditions today and the wind is quite extreme. It is going to be a long, drawn-out, protracted event for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nearby residents were advised it was safe to return to their homes at about 6.30pm on Friday.<\/p>\n

Fire Rescue Victoria declared the fire under control at about 9pm on Friday but it couldn\u2019t safely allow rescue workers onto the site until Saturday evening when the fire was completely extinguished.<\/p>\n
