Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is touring bushfire-ravaged communities in Victoria.
Mr Turnbull arrived at Wye River on Tuesday morning to assess the damage of a blaze that has claimed 116 homes and remains out of control.
He's met with Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and joined local Liberal MP Sarah Henderson for a tour of the area.
Receiving a briefing on the volunteer effort from one CFA firefighter, Mr Turnbull said "well-honed organisation" had ensured that despite the damage, no lives were lost.
"That's a huge loss, but no lives and that's a tribute to you," Mr Turnbull said.
