00:00Conditions have been very challenging today. The extreme heat, strong northerly
00:05winds has made controlling the fire really challenging. Our firefighters, over
00:11500 firefighters are on the ground today working really hard with interstate
00:14assistance as well and they're working hard to contain these fires. However
00:19those outbreaks have been challenging. We've had multiple aircraft working
00:25including rotary wing helicopters and fixed wing fire bombers including the
00:29large air tankers working on all three of these fires. As we've seen throughout
00:34the day today that the situation is very dynamic and changing quite rapidly so
00:39the best way to stay up to date is to look at the Vic Emergency app or the
00:42Emergency Vic website to stay up to date with the most recent information. And
00:47finally I just want to give a big shout out to all the firefighters out there
00:51today. We've got over 500 working really hard to protect their communities. We've
00:56had night shift who are still working through past midday. They're working
01:00really hard so I just want to do a big shout out to all local Victorian and
01:06interstate firefighters assisting us with these three very difficult fires.
