The fire is burning on multiple fronts with fire activity on the Western side of the fireground around Old Bundarra Road, to the South East around Bakers Creek Road in Vermont, to the North around Bundarra Road, and to the south where the fire has entered the Ironbark Nature Reserve moving towards the Bonnay-Linton Road.

Overnight firefighters supported by heavy plant will conduct back burning operations to slow the spread of the fire and establish containment lines.

Firefighters have worked with residents to prepare isolated rural properties in the area that may come under threat.
