With warmer temperatures forecast for Saturday, the CFA is urging locals to rethink any burning-off plans.
Geelong is forecast to reach 28 degrees, and there are concerns of northerly winds expected in some areas.
The fire danger rating for the region is listed as high.
Peter Creak from CFA Barwon Southwest said recent conditions meant landowners should be careful.
“This week has been warm and dry across parts of the state, and we’ve seen a drying cycle occur in some areas,” he said.
“While recent rain has greened up some paddocks, there are still areas that remain dry for this time of year.
“With above-average temperatures and stronger winds forecast, we’re asking people to check any burns from recent days and make sure they are properly extinguished.
“If you are planning a new burn-off, please defer it until conditions ease and winds subside on Sunday.”
