Victoria fire: MAJOR ALERT declared – first code red warning since 2010 as Victoria BURNS

Emergency management commissioner Andrew Crisp said the conditions would “potentially be the worst conditions [Victoria] will confront in some time”.

He added: “If we see fires in those areas, those fires will be fast-moving — they will be unpredictable, they will be uncontrollable.

“Houses in those areas, if there is fire, are not built to withstand those conditions.

“The clear message is, if you do not need to be in your home, get out tonight or early tomorrow.
