CFA deputy chief Brett Boatman says extra resources are ready.
“We have extra crews, trucks and aircraft ready for the entire state,” he said.
“So we need people to be ready for the day. If you’re travelling, we need you travelling early to avoid the worst of the fire conditions.
“Make sure you are prepared for the day.”
