Dozens of firefighters raced to Fun City Go Karts in Sunshine North about 7.30pm on Tuesday after reports of flames.

The Metropolitan Fire Brigade urged nearby residents to take shelter indoors and close their doors and windows as the fire billowed smoke.

About 80 firefighters with 30 fire trucks took more than two hours to control the dramatic blaze.
