Mt Buffalo NP closed 2/1/20 due bushfires. 9-Jan-2020 At 11:58:26 AM IdratherbeclimbingM9

Message

Not much happened with this fire yesterday as Authorities worked to strengthen containment measures and asset protection works back in the Chalet area.

Todays update of 2.22 pm 09/01/20.
Yesterday the fire size was 1405 Ha and it had one vehicle in attendance.

O’nite erratic wind behaviour caused the fire size to increase to 1518 Ha and it now has four vehicles in attendance.

The northern edge of its fire front has not progressed, but the east flank has extended all the way to the plateau edge.
With the next major wind change expected early tomorrow afternoon with an arriving SW frontal system, there’s a real possibility of ember attack causing spotfires in the Buckland River Valley.
If this happens then a fire run in that valley puts the township of Bright squarely in its path.

The large fire on the western flank of Mt Buffalo adjacent Lake Buffalo, with a fire front in the Carboor-Whorouly area, also increased in size.
Should this one run under the same weather conditions tomorrow, then it will threaten Myrtleford...

@ c_p; my EB’s didn’t make the cut...
