Vic firefighters to assess damage

FIREFIGHTERS will get their first look on Thursday at the destruction caused by a fire that ravaged the community of Dereel in Victoria's west.

The fire broke out just after 11.30am on Wednesday and spread rapidly to cover 1300 hectares, causing residents to pack up and head for safety.

A State Control Centre spokeswoman told AAP there were reports of 12 properties affected by the blaze but was unable to confirm the number while the fire was raging.

It is hoped, with the fire now under containment, authorities and residents will be able to return to the area to assess the damage.

Victoria Police will also be interested in inspecting the fire ground in an effort to discover how the fire started.

Overnight, a blaze in Victoria's east was downgraded to watch and act after wind conditions eased.

It had been threatening the communities of Allambee South and Allambee East but just before midnight on Wednesday, firefighters got the 510ha blaze under control.
