Christmas celebrations have come under threat in parts of Victoria as a massive bushfire continues to ravage the Grampians ranges.
A massive bushfire in and around the Grampians has threatened Christmas celebrations for hundreds of Victoria ns, with evacuation orders in place for Halls Gap and residents in surrounding areas told to stay alert.
Lake Fyans and Pomonal residents have also been urged to remain alert after an early emergency warning was downgraded to Watch and Act later on Saturday evening, while anyone who has left Mafeking and Watgania has been warned it is no longer safe to return. "We are concerned about the weather over the Christmas period, which will likely see further spread of the Grampians fire," he said in a statement on Saturday."The terrain is also inaccessible to many of our crews on the ground, so we're doing our best to attack the fire from the air where safe to do so."
