Crews from Glenorchy & Riachella, Stawell, Joel Joel and Callawadda attended.

On arrival, firefighters found a shed measuring approximately 40 metres by 20 metres fully involved, with hay bales also alight nearby. Three caravans and two motorbikes were damaged in the blaze.

Smoke was visible across surrounding farmland as crews worked in dry conditions to contain the fire, which was declared under control at 1.10pm.

A fire investigator attended the scene and the cause has not yet been confirmed.

Ambulance Victoria was alerted shortly before 12.45pm. An Ambulance Victoria spokesperson said Advanced Life Support paramedics attended “to support our emergency service partners by providing health monitoring.”
