In other news, fire crews were last night investigating an strange chemical smell in the area around the intersection of Macarthur and Drummond streets.
The smell was reported at 6.30pm, but crews from Ballarat City Fire Brigade could not identify the source of the report.
Testing was conducted but no chemical traces were identified.
Anyone who has concerns of chemical or gas smells in their area should call triple zero immediately.
