‘Incredibly challenging’: Victoria going through ‘a really tough period’

Forest Fire Management Victoria Chris Hardman says Victoria has been through a “really tough period”. Mr Hardman’s comments come as emergency fire warnings have been lifted across Victoria after parts of the state saw temperatures above 40 degrees. “Yesterday was an incredibly challenging day for people,” Mr Hardman told Sky News Australia. “Yesterday overnight last night the Bayindeen rocky road fire …has stopped moving. “It’s not fully contained yet but firefighters have got the upper hand.”
