Members of local fire brigades joined thousands of mum and dad firefighters amid dangerous wildfire conditions.

More than 60 units from Victorian towns attended a fire at Harrow in Victoria's Wimmera district on Friday, January 20, one of them being from Daylesford.

Four firemen from Daylesford only saw a small section of the fire which burnt 4172ha.

Daylesford brigade second lieutenant Dave Morrison said crews faced hot, windy and dry conditions.

"It was one of the biggest fires we've been to in a while. It was too dangerous for us to go in the bush."

Daylesford brigade fireman Ian Morrison fought a fire at Sulky on Sunday, January 22, and said fatigue was not an issue.

"After four to five hours we had a 15-minute break. We had a bit of tea and made sure we rehydrated during the day," he said.

After being in the Daylesford brigade for about four years, the Pearce brothers said they were used to fighting fires away from home.

"Mum still gets worried but it's good to know you can help," Nick Pearce, 20, said.

Daylesford firefighter Ian Morrison said it was "gut wrenching" to see stock losses during the fire he and his crew attended at Moyston and Pomonal in the Grampians. There were 62,000 sheep, 700 cattle, seven horses, 11 goats

and 70 beehives lost in the Victorian bushfires from Friday, January 27.

The crew was second in command at this fire and looked after 20 trucks.

One unit of five firefighters from Creswick Fire Brigade fought the threatening fires at Halls Gap on Sunday, January 22.

Creswick Fire Brigade first lieutenant Robert Squires said there was every possibility crews would be called back.

"The whole idea of the organisation is to help one another out," he said.

Firefighters across the district are mourning the loss of CFA captain Trevor Day from Campbells Creek, who died while battling a bushfire near Yea.

Daylesford brigade firefighter Dean Jones said the situation always hits home when something tragic happens.

"We always put safety first but accidents do happen," Ian Morrison said.

Daylesford brigade firefighters said the area was a danger spot for fires.

A spokesperson from Hepburn Shire Council said that although there were no longer designated refuge points people would be advised where to go if a fire occurred.
