00:00We did see fire activity abate for a period of time and that will continue to be until
00:08this afternoon when those westerly winds will come in and will come in strong again.
00:12It won't be as hot, however, wind-driven fires can be just as dangerous as those that are
00:18burning under real hot and extreme conditions.
00:21So again, we are asking communities that are in and around any of those fires at the moment
00:26to remain alert, keep the Vic Emergency app with them, because this afternoon could be
00:31a dynamic day for those communities.
