A Total Fire Ban (TFB) has been declared for the North East district tomorrow, Thursday 5 February 2026.
Tomorrow will be another hot and dry day, particularly in the North East parts of the state, with moderate westerly winds.
Temperatures in the mid to high 30's across the northern parts of the state, and mid 20s across the southern parts of the state.
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 elevated fire danger following continued dry conditions and the current fires in the landscape.
"Tomorrow's conditions will make it difficult for firefighters to suppress a fire should one start," Jason said.
"We know grassfires can start and spread quickly, especially on days when the Fire Danger Rating is Extreme and conditions remain hot and dry.
"We're asking people to follow the strict conditions associated with the Total Fire Ban declaration and consider postponing paddock work for the day in the north east parts of the state.
"Understand 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.
