Fire crews are trying to save houses and properties in Victoria's east from an out-of-control bushfire.
Nineteen fires are listed as "going" statewide, but the blaze at Yinnar South, in the Latrobe Valley in central Gippsland, poses the most danger on Monday morning.
The fire increased to 1800 hectares overnight, power to the fire-affected area has been cut and emergency services say there is significant fire spotting.
The emergency warning is in place for Budgeree, Budgeree East, Jeeralang, Jeeralang Junction, Jeeralang North, Jumbuk, Yinnar and Yinnar South.
Residents are warned leaving now is the safest option, before conditions become too dangerous.
"Again, we are urging people to heed the advice in relation to that particular warning," Emergency Services Commissioner Andrew Crisp told the Nine Network on Monday.
"If they need to get out and they can get out, to please do that. But Yinnar is not the only fire that we are concerned about. We have actually got 19 going fires across the state, mainly in the eastern part of the state."
"We have a challenging day ahead of us."
Overnight, an emergency warning was downgraded for the fire burning in and around Bunyip state park, about 65km east of Melbourne.
The fire was sparked by lightning strikes on Friday and has destroyed more than 10,000 hectares, while watch and act alerts also remain in place for areas further north east, including Licola and Dargo.
More than 2000 firefighters are working to contain blazes around the state, which have destroyed 5 structures at Bunyip and two at Yinnar.
There have been reports of a house and sheds destroyed at Tonimbuk, reportedly belonging to the Jinks Creek Winery, and Garfield North, but so far authorities have only been able to confirm three properties were lost in the blaze.
