Incident Update for Keilira
ISSUED FOR KEILIRA
A Bushfire Advice Message is current for the Robertson Road/Bald Hill Road Keilira fire.
Fire crews from the CFS and National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) continue to strengthen control lines and mop up hot spots across the fireground.
Heavy machinery is being used to complete work on earth breaks on the southern boundary of the fire ahead of today's predicted strong northerly winds.
Crews will continue to actively monitor the fire over the next few days.
Today's weather forecast includes strong winds and dry, hot weather across the fireground. A fire burning under the these conditions will be fast moving, unpredictable and difficult for fire crews to control.

Keilira,
Woolumbool,
Avenue Range,
Lucindale,
Lochaber,
Stewart Range,
Naracoorte,
Keppoch,
