Communities in Victoria’s central west have an anxious afternoon ahead, as hundreds of fire fighters work to contain a major bushfire that's out of control in the Grampians national park. Multiple emergency warnings have been issued - and evacuations are underway, with residents warned to leave by 3pm. The 28,000-hectare fire is about five kilometres south of halls gap and is being fanned by southerly winds.
