CFA warns of ‘Catastrophic and extreme fire danger’ for parts of Victoria tomorrow (Wed 28th Feb 2024)

Having already seen two wind farms (Stockyard Hill Wind Farm, including on 13th Feb 2024, and Waubra Wind Farm on Thu 22nd Feb 2024) affected by bushfires in the local area, it came to our attention this particular warning on Twitter by CFA:

This warning links through to the the article ‘UPDATE FOR AMPITHEATRE, BEAUFORT, CLUNES, ELMHURST, LEARMONTH, LEXTON AREA’ posted earlier today (Tue 27th Feb 2024).

From within that article, I’ve captured the image from the warning and roughly indicated the location of some of the wind farms in the area (not forgetting there’s a range of electricity infrastructure there, including transmission and distribution lines).

We’ll see what happens tomorrow.

Stay safe, everyone.
