A Total Fire Ban (TFB) has been declared for the North East tomorrow, Sunday, 1 February 2026.
Gusty winds across the North East tomorrow will elevate fire danger conditions with temperatures reaching the low 30s.
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.
State Agency Commander, Scott Purdy, said the TFB has been declared due to the expected conditions across the North East tomorrow.
"Tomorrow's conditions will make it difficult for firefighters to suppress a fire should one start," he said.
"There have been fires in the landscape for many weeks now and we want to prevent any new fires from starting.
"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.
