Grassfire burns more than 300 hectares
CFA crews have contained a large grass and scrub fire that broke out in Goyura near Hopetoun on Friday December 5.
CFA requested air attack support to assist ground crews in Goyura on December 5. The fire burnt an estimated 306 hectares.
Emergency services received reports of the fire at about 4.56pm, with 12 CFA units rushing to the scene to tackle the fast-moving blaze.
Firefighters battled flames reaching up to five to six metres high, as strong conditions helped the fire spread quickly through grass and scrub.
Air attack support was called in to assist ground crews as they worked to bring the fire under control.
The incident was declared under control by 6.31pm and was made safe at 7.41pm.
Crews then spent several hours blacking out the area to prevent flare-ups.
The fire burnt an estimated 306 hectares before it was fully contained.
