Reinforcements have been brought in to help keep a bushfire in Coles, south of Lucindale, from flaring up ahead of tough weather conditions.
Country Fire Service (CFS) first attended the blaze on Wednesday afternoon, with support from farm fire units and forest industry crews.
In a large-scale effort, 165 firefighters, 40 trucks and nine aircraft were working to contain the fire.
