Vic rubbish truck blaze out

A fire that engulfed a Melbourne waste disposal truck and seven tonnes of rubbish has been extinguished.

The compactor truck was parked outside a Bundoora KFC when the fire started about 8am on Monday.

Firefighters battled the blaze for about an hour, trying to save the truck's cabin while the rubbish burned in the back, before it was safe to move the vehicle.

No one was injured.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this stage.
