A Total Fire Ban (TFB) has been declared for the Mallee tomorrow, Saturday 11 November 2023.
Tomorrow's conditions in the Mallee will be hot and windy with a wind change and wind speeds of up to 40 km/h.
A Total Fire Ban means no fire can be lit in the open air or allowed to remain alight from 12.01am to 11.59pm on the day of the Total Fire Ban.
CFA Chief Officer Jason Heffernan said the TFB has been declared due to the expected conditions across the Mallee region tomorrow.
"Tomorrow's conditions will make it difficult for firefighters to supress a fire should one start," he said.
"We're asking people to follow the strict conditions associated with the Total Fire Ban declaration.
"Understand the how the increased fire risk will impact you and ensure your fire plan covers all possible contingencies."
Victorians can find out if it is a Total Fire Ban on the CFA website www.cfa.vic.gov.au, where it is usually published by 5pm the day before a Total Fire Ban.
