Vic: Don't be complacent in bushfire season, Victorians urged

Victorians are being warned against complacency ahead of the bushfire season.

KEN O'BRIEN .. from the Country Fire Authority .. says the state can expect weather
conditions similar to last season .. when more than a million hectares was burnt across
Victoria.

MR O'BRIEN has told the Nine Network this year's fire season won't start quite as early
as last year .. because of the rain now moving through the state.

But he says they'll be back into fairly severe wildfire conditions as soon as the rain
dries out .. and people have to be prepared.
