BE PREPARED AHEAD OF EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DAY - LEAVE EARLY

SOURCE: CFA South West

Thursday’s fire danger will be the worst across Victoria since Black Summer in 2019-20.

Hot and windy conditions will start early from 10am on Boxing Day and continue through the day and night until at least Friday morning.

If you choose to leave these areas of elevated risk, go on the night of 25 December or no later than 10am on 26 December before the Extreme fire conditions begin. Be sure to let your family and friends know where you are going.

On an Extreme Fire Danger day, fires will spread quickly and be extremely dangerous.

Many Victorians will have plans on Boxing Day to spend time with friends or family, or travel across the state on their way to or from holiday events, so ensure you are aware of this increased danger before heading out on the road.

Avoid any travel through bushland areas where possible.

It is vital to take action to protect your life and property - your life may depend on the decisions you make.

Make a fire plan now before it is too late: www.fireplanner.vic.gov.au.
