A Total Fire Ban (TFB) has been declared for the Mallee tomorrow, Friday 5 December 2025.
Tomorrow's conditions in the Mallee will be dry and windy with west to north westerly winds gusting up to 70km/h during the late morning and afternoon.
Maximum temperatures will reach up to 38 degrees in the Mallee, with lower temperatures in the south.
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 increased risk of fire in the Mallee, driven by hot, dry and windy conditions in the area.
"Tomorrow's conditions will make it difficult for firefighters to suppress a fire should one start," Jason said.
"The Mallee also experienced extreme conditions today which adds to the extended fire risk into tomorrow.
"We urge farmers to postpone harvesting activities tomorrow as ignition is a real possibility with the strong gusty winds.
"We're asking people to follow the strict conditions associated with the Total Fire Ban declaration and understand how the increased fire risk will impact you."
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.
