Victorian Bushfire Information Line (VBIL)

Call 1800 240 667

CFA in partnership with Department of Sustainability & Environment (DSE) has established a bushfire information line to provide the community with a wide range of information about bushfires.

The Victorian Bushfire Information Line aims to:

  • Provide timely information to the community during significant incidents
  • Assist the community to prepare for wildfire risk
  • Provide information regarding fire restrictions, Total Fire Bans and DSE prescribed burns.

The line offers personal advice from operators as well as a range of useful recorded information.

The number for the Victorian Bushfire Information Line is 1800 240 667.
