Burning rubbish sparks paddock fire

A CFA spokesperson said the fire had started from a pile of rubbish being burned that became out of control and spread into a paddock.

The fire had burnt an area of about 100m by 50m when it was brought under control at 1.45pm, the spokesperson said.

At 2.20pm, nine fire trucks and three other CFA vehicles, including fire command and a big fill vehicle, were still fighting the fire.

VicEmergency issued a community information alert for Toolamba, Dhurringile, and Murchison North.

The alert said firefighters were on scene and may still be visible in the area.

The alert said there was no immediate threat to the community and no action was required.
