Previously:

EMERGENCY crews responded to a haystack fire on Longerenong Road, Longerenong on Tuesday afternoon.

The haystack fire is now under control and the fire did not spread into grassland.

A smoke warning has been issued for the area, with smoke expected to be visible from neighbouring communities of Dooen, Drung and Riverside, and nearby roads.

There is no immediate threat to the community and no action is required.

If you need medical advice for burns or exposure to smoke, seek medical advice or call Nurse on Call on 1300 606 024. Anyone experiencing wheezing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing should call Triple Zero (000).

Speaking to the Wimmera Mail-Times previously, Country Fire Authority District 17 operations manager Craig Brittain said all the fires had been caused by spontaneous combustion.

“These incidents are timely reminders for farmers to monitor their stacks on a regular basis,” he said.

“If they get too hot, then they will burn and they could potentially lose the lot. It’s a time to be proactive about monitoring and maintaining the stacks.

“It’s really important that people use whatever equipment they have to monitor them. If a fire spreads from the haystack, then it can do even more damage to properties.”
