Victorian emergency services have warned Halls Gap residents to leave immediately and holiday-makers to stay away, with a fire in the Grampians almost tripling in size in the past 24 hours.
CFA state agency commander on duty, Alan Slijepcevic, said the fire had increased from about 7,500 hectares on Friday morning to just over 28,000 this morning.
About 400 firefighters are working to fight the blaze, with more than 100 tankers, 25 aircraft and other heavy machinery.
