Planned burns in the Marysville area this week.We’re currently doing planned burning to keep Victoria safer from bushfires.
Want to receive a text or email when planned burns are happening near you?
Sign up for alerts on the Planned Burns Victoria website www.vic.gov.au/plannedburns.
If weather and forest conditions are right, firefighters will light the following burns this week:
📍Marysville – Tip Hill North (7 hectares)
📍Marysville – Wilks Creek Trail (19 hectares)
Without planned burning and other fuel management works, bushfires will be bigger and harder for our firefighters to control.
🔥You may see or smell smoke.
👀 Watch for our crews and follow their directions.
📞 If you experience symptoms that may be due to smoke exposure, please seek medical advice or call NURSE-ON-CALL on 1300 60 60 24.
🌐Detailed information about current air quality throughout Victoria can be found at www.epa.vic.gov.au
Unexpected weather conditions can mean plans change at the last minute and a burn may not go ahead, even if communities have already been notified. When this happens, our crews will continue to monitor the conditions and re-schedule the burn for a later date.

EILDON INVESTIGATION
Detectives are investigating a report of a burglary at a business in Eildon in the early hours of Saturday the 14th of March 2026. At approximately 2:30am, an offender allegedly attempted to gain entry to a business in Main Street Eildon. A short time later, the same person gained entry to a service station in Centre Avenue and stole a safe containing cash.
Police have released images of a person wearing a grey 'NXP' hoodie, black pants and white sneakers, who they believe may be able to assist police enquiries. Police have also released an image of a white dual cab Toyota utility that was in the vicinity at the time.
Anyone with information regarding the offending, or identity of the person or vehicle depicted in the images is urged to contact Alexandra Police Station on 03 5772 1040 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

CHANNEL NINE RECEPTION ISSUE
Residents in Alexandra, Eildon, Taggerty, Marysville and surrounding areas have reported issues with their Channel Nine reception.
WIN Network, the operator of the signal site, was contacted about the issue.
They said, "It appears there was a mains outage at the parent site in Yarck [on Monday].
"While our transmitter was operational, this site runs in an SFN (single frequency network) that relies on a GPS clock to synchronise. It appears that the mains outage and EPP run on Monday damaged the power supply on our GPS clocking unit/hardware. This mean that some viewers would have still been able to view the services, however some viewers would have had outages (as reported) to services.
"A work around has been put in place to ensure WIN Network services are restored, and the damaged power supplies will be replaced in the near future."
