An EXTREME Fire Danger Rating has been issued for Central District Friday 9th January 2026. This includes the Upwey and surrounding areas.
Fires that start in these conditions can be uncontrollable and unpredictable. Leaving early is the safest option.
CFA advises leaving the night before or early in the morning of an Extreme day. Not when you can see flames or smoke, so you avoid panic, being trapped, or having to make rushed decisions that put lives at risk.
Please plan ahead and leave early if you can. Your safety and your family’s safety matter most.
Implement your fire plan. If you plan to leave LEAVE EARLY.
