Since last Wednesday, more than 410,000 hectares of Victorian bushland have been engulfed in flames, as extreme fire conditions ignited numerous fires across the region.

Among the ongoing blazes, two major fires continue to burn fiercely in Longwood and Walwa, posing significant challenges for firefighters and communities alike.

Striking aerial imagery captured by Nearmap reveals the stark contrast in Natimuk and Harcourt, illustrating the devastating impact of the infernos on these towns. Before and after photos depict the scale of destruction wrought by the fires.

In Natimuk alone, the fires have resulted in the loss of at least 30 homes. Meanwhile, the Harcourt area has seen even greater devastation, with 54 homes succumbing to the flames.

Victoria Police are actively investigating the origins of these catastrophic fires, focusing on Ravenswood South and Walwa. Additionally, detectives specializing in arson and explosives are examining the circumstances surrounding the Longwood fire, seeking to determine any malicious intent.

Almost $200 million in federal and government support has been announced in recent days to support fire-affected communities.
