7.30am Update

All quiet on all fronts apart from a small fire in Kangaroo Flat at 7.30 this morning which has been now labelled safe. Last temp recorded at 16.5 degrees. A fire weather warning is current today in the Northern Country, Wimmera,Mallee, North Central and Central forecast districts and parts of the Western,West and South Gippsland and Northeast forecast districts. Temperatures up to 40 degrees, relative humidity down to 6% and winds to 35 km/h will cause extreme fire danger. Rhys's kindy is closed today due to the threat of high temps and bushfires. The girl's school is operating as normal. Today I will only be updating on the presently contained bushfire at Daylesford and hopefully no activity in Bendigo. The Daylesford fire is of interest because it is about 50kms away from where Wayne is working and there is concern that the high winds that are forecast could cause it to jump its containment lines.
