Rain slows major Vic fires

Overnight rain has slowed the progress of two major bushfires burning in eastern Victoria.

Fires burning near Harrietville, in the state’s Alpine region, and at Heyfield, in Gippsland, had townships on alert during the week.

But cooler temperatures and rain eased the fire threat on Saturday and Sunday.

Advice messages remain in place for the two blazes, with authorities warning of fire activity near the Harrietville township.

Residents living downstream of the fire were also told to remain vigilant about their water quality.
