Firefighters have extinguished a fire that broke out in an air conditioning unit at one of Australia's most prestigious tennis venues.
An air conditioning unit that caught on fire has caused a major blaze at Melbourne's Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club, causing a mass evacuation of the tennis club.
The prestigious Kooyong Tennis Club has gone up in flames just weeks after an external review was launched over a $2.5m loss in revenue.
The black smoke was billowing out onto the street and authorities blocked off the north-bound lane.
