Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) responded to a helicopter accident at Moorabbin Airport at 2.34pm this afternoon.
Firefighters arrived within five minutes to find a helicopter that had crashed by the side of a runway and was leaking fuel.
Unable to stop the leak, FRV crews laid a blanket of firefighting foam over the spilt fuel and aircraft and isolated power sources to the helicopter to ensure the fuel did not ignite.
A pilot and passenger were treated by Ambulance Victoria for minor injuries.
