"Prevailing visibility at the airport has fallen from four kilometres to 500 metres."
Victoria's highest bushfire warning - code red - has been issued for central and northwestern parts of the state today."Homes are not built to withstand the types of fires we may see on a code red day and you don't want to be caught travelling through areas on fire at the last minute, if you wait and see," Country Fire Authority chief officer Steve Warrington said.
"We've got the very hot, dry and quite gusty northerly winds and that's what's driven up the fire danger," the Bureau of Meteorology's Tom Delamotte said.The fire danger rating is set at severe or very high for the rest of the state, with a severe weather warning for damaging winds also in place.
