Fire conditions continued to ease overnight which has allowed firefighters to undertake a number of backburns across the fireground, which will continue today. An expected wind change will also push smoke back over Torrington.

The backburns may seem like an increase in fire activity.

Even better news this morning, with a wind change expected. Winds are likely to come from the east, shifting from west south west. This will make it easier for firefighters in the area of Pyes Creek.

Some 3404 hectares have been destroyed by the fire, which is being controlled.

A fire burning in the Torrington State Conservation Area is under control but the Rural Fire Service recommends residents and farmers take care.

The fire is currently at watch and act level, and the RFS advises residents to put their bush fire survival plan into action, or to know what they will do if the fire approaches.

The fire is burning to the north of Torrington Road and to the west of Red Hill Road.

The fire has been burning for several days.

The RFS says some 2950 hectares have been already destroyed, and that fire activity has increased particularly on the north-eastern side of the fire ground. This is generating a number of embers that are falling in the Pyes Creek Area.

Local rural fire teams have been deployed to defend isolated properties in the area and there are firefighters are positioned to protect properties if required.

The fire is heading in an easterly, north easterly direction towards the Pyes Creek and Red Hill Road area, pushed by west to south westerly winds.

The RFS also advises that under these conditions, fires can be difficult to control.

They particularly warned of embers that may be blown ahead of the fire, creating spot fires, which can destroy homes ahead of the main fire front.

Catarrh Creek Road is currently closed.

Landholders in the vicinity of fireground especially along Red Hill Rd should consider moving stock to a heavy grazed paddock with access to water.
