Twenty fires remain out of control across Victoria's Gippsland region, but milder conditions mean authorities can focus on preventing them from spreading.
Grange Jephcott at the Gippsland incident control centre said authorities were working on damage assessment and assisting residents.
"We're also focused on developing strategies to find a pathway to preventing the spread of these fires," he said.
The largest fire in Gippsland, the Snowy River complex around Goongerah, north of Orbost, is currently not presenting a major threat to any properties.
Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley says it is still a fire of significance and has burnt 78,000 hectares.
Together with the Buchan blaze, which is close to joining the Snowy River network, fire in the region spans more than 100,000 hectares and at one stage sent embers into the Bendoc community.
But Mr Jephcott said the risk had largely subsided.
Victoria's regional control centre spokesman Andy Oldroyd said the fires are not out "by any stretch" but have pulled back from the more populated areas.
"It's certainly done its damage for the time," he said.
"The focus is still about trying to get an insight into what's happened.
"That, and trying to prevent it from spreading back into the populated areas."
Mr Lapsley says there will be damage to structures where the fire has come out of deep-seated bush in the areas around the hamlets of Goongerah, Tubbut and Bonang.
Despite Monday's conditions being calmer than Sunday's, Mr Oldroyd says the danger hasn't passed.
"In Gippsland the only thing that gets on top of that is significant rainfall," Mr Oldroyd said.
He said of the 20 fires burning out of control, about five, including a Morwell blaze burning in parts of the Maryvale paper mill complex and Hazelwood coal mine, continued to be of concern.
In addition to the Snowy River blaze, Mr Oldroyd said authorities were keeping a close eye on a 18,000 hectare fire at Staceys Bridge, near the town of Yarram.
Gippsland incident controller Laurie Jeremiah said the picture in the Alberton and Yarram area, near the South Gippsland Highway, had improved and extensive road closures would be relaxed.
"The public message now says advice because things are quiet, they're not out," Mr Jeremiah said.
