Fire burning at Ocean Grange in Victoria's east FIREFIGHTERS are battling a bushfire burning in the Gippsland Lakes. But a drop in wind speeds means fire crews should be able to contain it overnight. CFA numbers will increase tomorrow depending on how the blaze responds to weather conditions. A watch and act alert was issued for the 12ha blaze with fears it could spread across Ocean Grange overnight. The blaze is raging about 6km east of Loch Sport on Rotamah island. Incident controller Graeme Taylor said 45 firefighters, five aircraft and three bulldozers were battling the fire. "The island is only accessible by boat and some have decided to stay," he said. One visitor Wendy Reeves was worried unpredictable weather could cause the fire to spread to Raymond Island where many were staying over the holiday period. "The wind is crazy, so goodness knows what will happen," she said. Mrs Reeves said police and fire crews had boarded a Coast Guard boat from Paynesville to approach the blaze. Residents in Ocean Grange were advised to seek shelter.
