THE Country Fire Authority (CFA) has downgraded the bushfire threatening the community of Mirranatwa in Victoria's west to Watch and Act but warns the rating could change with the conditions.
The large, fast-moving fire, about 30km north of Dunkeld, is travelling in a southwesterly direction.
It's expected to impact Mirranatwa any time in the next two to six hours.
The CFA says with fire behaviour being very unpredictable, communities may see the advice on this fire move between 'Emergency Warning' and 'Watch and Act' during the night.
It says residents in Mirranatwa need to keep aware of the fire situation through local radio and the CFA website.
Surrounding communities, like Dunkeld, need to remain aware of the fire activity in the southern Grampians area but there's no threat to these communities at this time.
A relief centre has been established at the Senior Citizens Hall in Lonsdale Street, Hamilton.
More than 200 firefighters from the CFA, the Department of Environment and Sustainability and Parks Victoria have been working on the fire, which was started by lightning on Thursday night.
Fourteen aircraft, including the Elvis Skycrane, have also been involved.
