Doesn't sound good Megan. If you get a chance could you please check back later so we know that you're safe?

There's still a big, big fire at Yea and surrounds, also biggies near Healsville. Not sure where the other big ones are at the moment, but the Bunyip Ridge fire is now threatening homes on the outskirts of Gembrook.

Also, the communities of Basan Corner, Saint Benedicts, Three Bridges, Gilderoy, Powelltown, Neerim Junction and Nayook have been put on alert as fire activity has increased in theses areas.

There are other areas under threat, but I wasn't quick enough to write down the names of the towns.

Stay safe people, please.
