A Total Fire Ban (TFB) has been declared for the Wimmera and North East districts tomorrow, Wednesday, 28 January 2026.
Tomorrow's conditions in the Wimmer and the North East will be a continuation of the hot, dry, and windy conditions we have seen over the past few days.
Temperatures are set to reach the mid-forties with south 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 and the current fires in the landscape across the Wimmera and the North East tomorrow.
"Tomorrow's conditions will make it difficult to suppress new fire starts, as well as providing a challenge for firefighters already working hard on containing existing fires," he said.
"Even in areas not under total fire ban we are urging people to reconsider the need for things that have the potential to start fires.
"Crews all over the state have been working incredibly hard around the clock and we can thank them by following the strict conditions associated with a total fire ban."
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.
