Wildfires - Victoria, Australia
Two persistent fires that had destroyed homes and killed animals in the state's north east were brought under control on Thursday evening. It was the first time Victoria had been without a fire threat in days.
The 5740 hectare Lake Rowan fire, north of Wangaratta, was declared contained after 10pm, with crews halting its spread with containment lines.
Fire conditions also abated at the Creightons Creek fire, near Euroa, which destroyed three homes earlier this week after it was sparked by a dry lightening strike on Tuesday.
Although crews still patrolled the fire ground, residents were being let back into areas that had been affected by the blaze.
