The SS Windrush fire started on June 22, 1956, when a fire broke out in the ship's hold while it was docked in Port Melbourne, Australia. The blaze was fueled by the presence of flammable materials and quickly spread, leading to extensive damage. Efforts to extinguish the fire were hampered by the ship's design and the conditions at the dock. Fortunately, there were no fatalities, but the incident highlighted concerns about fire safety regulations in maritime operations.
