On Sunday afternoon, an out-of-control bushfire broke out in Victoria's Central Gippsland region, specifically near Seacombe, threatening the areas of Golden Beach and Paradise Beach. The Country Fire Authority (CFA) issued a Watch and Act warning to residents in these communities, advising them to prepare for an evacuation due to the fire spreading in a south-easterly direction along the Longford-Loch Sport Road at Seacombe. The CFA is expected to provide further updates as firefighting crews continue their efforts against the blaze.
