Melbourne is shrouded in a thick smoke haze as bushfires burn uncontrollably across regional Victoria. The fires have prompted multiple emergency alerts and heightened concerns for residents in affected areas.
The Grampians region, where fires first threatened the tiny hamlet of Mirranatwa on Wednesday, remains a focal point of danger. On Friday, a strong south-westerly wind and temperatures in the low 30s reignited the blaze, pushing it eastward. The towns of Mafeking and Watgania are now under immediate threat. Emergency warnings issued shortly before 3:30 p.m. cautioned residents that these areas could be impacted within the hour.
