00:00We can confirm that three homes have been
00:05lost in the Otways Fire Complex, along with 16 other structures, including
00:10outbuildings and sheds.
00:12About 45 evacuees remain here at the...
00:15Colac Showgrounds today, where an emergency relief centre has been set up.
00:20People have been able to return home around the Carlisle River area, where...
00:25Fire conditions eased yesterday, and emergency...
00:30...warnings were downgraded.
00:32But for people around Jolly Brown...
00:35Car Warren and surrounding areas, it's another day of uncertainty.
00:39It is still...
00:40...not yet safe to return to those areas.
00:43The Colac incident...
00:45Control Centre has said that the top priority in the coming days is to get
00:48people back to their homes as...
00:50...as soon as it is safe to do so.
00:52But fire is not the only safety consideration.
00:55It's...
00:55...dense bushland here.
00:56So falling debris is also another thing to consider.
01:00People are also being asked to monitor conditions and stay alert because extreme heat...
01:05...is still forecast across parts of the state in coming days.
01:08Here in Colac...
01:10Temperatures are expected to peak in the mid-30s tomorrow, but ease back to around...
01:15...20 degrees by Sunday.
01:17I will say, the evacuees have really kept...
01:20...their spirits high.
01:21Birthdays have been celebrated here at the Emergency Relief Centre.
01:25In the past few days, friendships have been forged.
01:28People have told us that they plan to stay in...
01:30...in touch with their camp neighbours.
01:32And everyone has just had, you know, so...
01:35...much gratitude to lay on the firefighters who have been working tirelessly to protect...
01:40...their communities and will continue to do so in coming weeks.
01:45At this point, they have played the same thing for people.
