Total fire bans in much of Victoria this weekend

Total fire bans in much of Victoria this weekend.

Total fire bans have been declared in much of northern Victoria on Saturday as the state braces for severe fire danger.

Total fire bans have been declared in the Mallee, Northern Country, North East and North Central districts – campfires cannot be lit and solid and liquid fuel barbecues and ovens are also banned.

Bushfire conditions will ramp up tomorrow with temperatures in the high 30s and winds.
