In Victoria, most high-risk fire areas are not flat, so fires can spread and become out of control quickly.

On a 10-degree slope, fire will travel twice as fast as a fire on flat ground in the same conditions, and on a 20-degree slope, it will travel four times as fast.

There’s no questioning the facts, if you live in a high fire-risk area, leaving early is always the safest option
