Bushfire contained near Yea
February 12, 2006 - 7:00PM

The central Victorian township of Yea, which narrowly escaped serious damage in last month's deadly bushfires, has been threatened again by a fire.

After recovering from a major fire that endangered homes last month, Yea residents were on alert today as 250 firefighters fought to contain a blaze between Limestone and Yea.

About 750 hectares of bush were burnt out during the blaze, which started about 12.30pm (AEDT) and took several hours to control.

The Country Fire Authority (CFA) has advised residents that embers could still attack their homes.

"Residents should continue to patrol their homes for embers and extinguish small fires as they start," a CFA spokesman said.

"Residents should also check roof spaces, under-floor spaces, and areas where leaves commonly gather to ensure that nothing is burning."
