Key points: The fire has burnt through 12,000 hectares, destroying several structures DFES' commissioner says difficult times are ahead and warns of further damage Authorities say they don't believe arson is to blame for the fire Hundreds of firefighters battling the blaze were able to slow its spread on Friday night but they spent Saturday dealing with changes in wind direction and another day of blistering heat. 'We've got difficult times ahead': commissioner Fire and Emergency Services commissioner Darren Klemm said firefighters were continuing to face very difficult conditions. "The fire is moving at a rapid rate to the north-east and as you've seen with the wind conditions we've got here today, it's going to be difficult for us to pull that fire up before we get into nightfall tonight," he said. "I don't suspect that we're going to extinguish it anytime in the next week or so but certainly we'll try and get containment lines strengthened," he said.
