A man has been charged almost three months on from a bank fire in Springvale that left dozens of people injured.

The fire at about 11.30am on November 18 at the Commonwealth Bank Branch in Springvale left 36 people injured including children.

Hero tradies from across the road were seen desperately trying to rescue them and extinguish the blaze.

A man arrested at the scene, also among the injured, has spent much of the past three months in hospital.
