The Victorian Premier has warned the number of properties lost across the state could be more than 300. 9News

"We are going to see more and more fires, more and more damage, as each fire season comes."

The air quality is at its worst in East Gippsland, as dozens of bushfires continue to burn in the region today."We've had easterly breezes that are pushing the smoke towards the east and towards Melbourne itself," Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp said.The Environment Protection Authority has recorded "very poor" air quality in Melbourne's metropolitan area, attributing the smoke to bushfires burning in the state as well as in NSW and Tasmania.

"If it persists into the next couple of days you want to have as much clean air as you can within your home." Rain has started to fall, but not across all fire-affected areas and not enough to douse the fires, and is creating new difficulties. "It does in fact create some other challenges in a strange way. We had a Forest Fire Management vehicle tip over yesterday, thankfully no one was seriously injured," Mr Andrews said.The north-east of Corryong, Victoria's alpine region and through to the Victorian-New South Wales Border is of "grave concern".
