Vic expects similiar fire season to NSW

VICTORIA'S fire season has the potential to see the same conditions being experienced in NSW, fire authorities say.

Victorian Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley says December to February will be a critical time for the state.

"Let's make sure we learn from NSW in what was a horrible day and has the potential to be that in our summer," he told reporters in Melbourne on Friday.

He said north of the Otways, western and central parts of Victoria and outer parts of Melbourne were a key focus for Victorian firefighters because they were mostly dry and had high grass growth over spring.

"Our early assessment is that we've had spring conditions that are conducive to a lot of growth," he said.

Mr Lapsley said his message to Victorians in October is to clean up properties and for residents to consider the risk to their families in November.

Bushfire Response Minister Kim Wells said Victoria is organised and in a good position to tackle the summer season.

"We are very well organised and very well planned, we have the right amount of equipment and the right amount of training over the winter months," Mr Wells said.

He said the state had gone above its targets for fire prevention burn-offs.
