"Unfortunately one of the challenges with that type of intelligence where it's either cloudy or a lot of smoke, makes it difficult to get a picture," he said.
More than 923,000 hectares - 9230 square kilometres, almost the size of greater metropolitan Melbourne - have been affected by fire across Victoria, with 39 fires still burning. Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning and CFA crews monitor fires and begin back burns between the towns of Orbost and Lakes Entrance in East Gipplsland."The Marthavale fire actually moved towards it. They’re 20 kilometres apart but there’s some drawing together now. Unfortunately it’s all starting to fill in," he said.
He said the fire "came pretty close" to the Omeo township and remains only a few kilometres from town, with VicEmergency maps not yet showing fire activity to the town’s south.
If all of the council areas have used the same ‘do not touch the bush’ tactic, then naturally fires will have enough fuel to keep burning & fragile humanity can’t stop it until fuel is gone or rain comes. Nature at work.
