Victorian fires: Emergency warnings remain in place for Kyneton, Benalla, Longwood fires – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Victorian fires: Emergency warnings remain in place for Kyneton, Benalla, Longwood fires – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation).

Hot weather and a cool gusty change has sparked over 200 fires in Victoria with a number of emergency watches still in place.

There are three main trouble spots in and around Kyneton, Benalla and Longwood East, south of Euroa.

The CFA issued emergency warnings for several communities in north-eastern Victoria.

Residents at Chesney Vale, Winton North, Bungeet and Bungeet West are advised that leaving their homes was the safest option with a fast-moving fire travelling easterly towards the communities.

An emergency warning was also issued for Goorambat, Chesney and Devenish, near Benalla.

A relief centre was opened at the Benalla Basketball Stadium in Ackerley Avenue.

Meanwhile, fire crews continued to fight an unpredictable blaze burning in several directions from Longwood East to Strathbogie, near Euroa, in central Victoria.

An emergency warning was issued for Strathbogie South, Strathbogie, Kithbrook, Kelvin View, Gooram and Creightons Creek.
