A Total Fire Ban (TFB) has been declared for the North East region tomorrow, Saturday, 7 February 2026.
Tomorrow's conditions in the North East will remain hot with north to north westerly winds.
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 North East tomorrow and consecutive days of heat in the landscape.
"Tomorrow's conditions will make it difficult for firefighters to suppress a fire should one start," he said.
"We know this has already been a challenging summer and this is just one of many Total Fire Ban days this region has encountered, but it is to ensure the safety of all Victorians.
"We are asking people to please still 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.
