WARM weather and powerful winds are poised to spur on two large bushfires burning in Victoria's east from the early morning.
Fires in the Alpine and Gippsland regions, east of Melbourne, could both surge in the early hours of Friday, authorities say.
The fire threatening Gippsland towns, which has killed a man, destroyed 22 homes and burned through 67,000 hectares, is expected to again cause chaos on Friday.
Residents in the Alpine towns of Hotham Heights and Harrietville had been urged to activate their fire plans and leave - only if it was safe - before nightfall.
Towns that include Heyfield, Toongabbie and Maffra are in the line of potential carnage, while CFA crews say they're particularly worried about the Erica and Briagolong communities.
The Bureau of Meteorology says northerly winds are set to peak at 5am (AEDT) on Friday, with a southwesterly change not expected until late in the day.
A total fire ban has been declared for the Mallee, Wimmera, South West, North Country, Central, North Central and West and South Gippsland fire districts.
