Absolutely spectacular work by CFA and FFMV to not only keep the Bullengarook fire behind the lines through awful conditions yesterday but to now be able to declare the fire under control. Bloody well done the lot of you, could have been very nasty.

Update: 5pm Weds 4 Feb. Fire not yet under control, but due to huge efforts by EMV, FFMV, CFA++, slowed its spread.
Still at home all packed ready to go, keeping a close eye on it.
Thanks to all working tirelessly and as for the fuckhead/s who started it, string them up.

Sleepless night. Fire started few km away ~6pm last night & another south ~4am this morn.
Dogs & I ok ready to evacuate today with winds shifting/strengthening.
Tankers can't reach fire due to inaccessible terrain. FFMV used bulldozers & hand tools create fire breaks & water bombing helicopter...1/2

... out during short amount of daylight there was & 1 at night til ~11pm, can hear them back out now sun's up.

Great full description👇events (to date) from Blackwood CFA Captain Ross.

If in area, keep watch of @vicemergency app, evacuate early & stay safe💜..2/2
Blackwood CFA Facebook post ~1am 4 feb 2026 At 6:15 this afternoon (Tuesday), Blackwood brigade were paged to support Greendale with a report of a column of smoke seen from a distance which appeared to be between Greendale and Myrniong. As appliances tried to locate the growing plume of smoke, they moved North of Greendale looking across to the Lerderderg Gorge. Another 8 tankers were called as the smoke could be seen from the freeway. Blackwood Tanker drove down O'Briens Rd and was able to locate the fire at O'Briens Crossing. The fire was about 150 metres south of the bridge and 200 metres wide. It was rapidly moving up the steep rocky slope to the crest of the ridge. Helicopter bombers arrived on scene and began trying the slow the spread of the fire. The fire stayed on the southern side of the river away from O'Briens Rd. The fire has been deemed suspicious. Facebook post continued… Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMV) soon turned up in force with bulldozers, appliances and personnel. As this event was on public land, FFMV are the controlling agency. Due to the rough terrain, appliances were not able to get close enough to the fire to actually put water on it. CFA appliances remained on scene as FFMV bulldozers cut mineral breaks though the bush to put in containment lines. FFMV crews with hand tools will put in further fire breaks in terrain too rough or steep for the bulldozers. As of this evening, the fire is about 15 hectares in size and 0% contained. The helicopter bombers will work overnight in an attempt suppress as much of the fire as possible before tomorrow's severe fire weather. The Northerly winds tomorrow will tend to push the fire south, and the South West wind change later in the afternoon will put pressure on the North East flank of the fire. For Blackwood, South East winds may cause the fire to move towards town. Take heed of your VicEmergency App. This fire is now very well resourced and community messaging is a critical component of fire management. Blackwood Tanker was back in station about 10:30 PM Ross, Blackwood Captain

Our dam is at the lowest level we have seen in 13yrs. The bush around us is crackling dry and FFMV are going to do several thousand hectares of “planned burns” in our immediate area. So fcking scary. 🤬🤬🤬

Wherever they go, they leave a trail of destruction. #FFMV recently lit up 80Ha of Providence Ponds Fauna & Flora Reserve. The road is Mouse Track - so named for nationally endangered #Pookila or #NewHollandMouse that lives here. This one of only 3 VIC locations where it remains #GunaiKurnaiCountry
