  2. There are fires still burning around Victoria. People are very nervous as they could easily change direction and threaten towns or flare up again if the winds pick up again.

  4. The official count of deaths is now 181. The weather is now cooler but there are fears that three fires could join up and pose a threat to the outer suburbs of Melbourne when winds become hotter on the weekend.
