Vic at 'considerable risk' of bushfires

VICTORIAN Premier Ted Baillieu says the state faces "considerable risk" of bushfires as temperatures soar over the next couple of days.

The temperature is tipped to reach the high 30s in southern Victoria on Thursday, and the low 40s in the state's north.

"The next couple of days will be a test for Victorians," Mr Baillieu told reporters in Melbourne on Wednesday.

"With the high temperatures over the next couple of days, that means there will be considerable risk of bushfires in many parts of Victoria."

Mr Baillieu urged residents to remain vigilant, and to seek updates from emergency services.

Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley said crews had worked hard to bring all current fires under control.

"That means we move into Thursday with no significant fires on the board that we have got major resources at," he said.

Mr Lapsley said farmers should postpone the use of mechanical equipment when the fire danger was high.

The CFA will consider issuing fire bans later on Wednesday.
