Firefighters battle bushfires across Victoria

From midnight to this morning another 33 fires ignited across the state, adding to the 110 fires that started amid Friday's scorching weather, a CFA spokesman said.

"The cool change brought a number of lightning storms, what we call dry lightning that started a lot of spot fires across the state from the south-west and over in Gippsland," he said.

"That's the unwanted side effect of the cool change. Our crews are working hard to contain them all."

A skeleton crew worked overnight to contain a large grass and scrub fire along Bundol Road, west of Dunkeld.
