Firefighters are battling five out-of-control fires in Victoria’s west as the state braces for more dangerous hot and dry conditions. Residents in Glenisla, Strachans and Victoria Valley were on Tuesday night told to leave their homes immediately and warned emergency services may not be able to reach them if they chose to stay. Dry lightning started a fire at the Little Desert National Park in the early afternoon on Monday, which razed more than 69,000ha of land within hours.
