ONE home has been lost in out of control bushfires threatening towns at the foothills of the Grampians in Victoria's west.
FIRE Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley confirmed the house had burnt down in Moyston.
While crews have contained the bushfire and downgraded an emergency fire warning to a watch and act message on Friday evening, Mr Lapsley said crews would be fighting the blaze throughout the night.He said wind forecast overnight meant the fire could pose challenges for crews.As flames raced towards her property, Moyston guesthouse owner Karen Fraser was grateful emergency crews were there."It was very close to where we are," Ms Fraser told AAP on Friday."We could see flames in the paddock across the road. We're very grateful they were able to stop it coming to us."She said a lack of fuel in the paddock and favourable conditions also helped contain the blaze near her property.Thick smoke still covers the area, Ms Fraser said from her Ararat-Halls Gap Road property.The out of control bushfire has burned 4796ha in Moyston and residents have been told that it's too late to leave.The Country Fire Authority still has 60 tankers and 11 aircraft battling the blaze.Residents of the nearby town of Maroona have also been told to leave as the fire is heading towards them.A relief centre has been set up at the nearby town of Ararat and some roads into and out of Moyston have been closed.A watch and act alert was downgraded on Friday evening to an advice message for St Arnaud, north of Moyston, with residents told they are no longer under threat.Victoria has an extreme fire danger rating, with temperatures predicted to hit 40C in the west and winds gusting up to 90km/h.Anda sedang membaca artikel tentang
