17 Feb 2009 7:33 PM
Firefighters say they're getting on top of the Victorian bushfires .. with just six major blazes still burning out of control.
A Department of Sustainability and Environment spokesman says in the past day or so the Beechworth fires and those that were part of the Delburn complex have been contained.
He says the weather is forecast to become more favourable for firefighters for the next few days and that's also expected to help .. especially with scattered showers forecast in the east of the state .. moving to central Victoria.
The largest fires still burning out of control are the two parts of the Kilmore East-Murrindindi complex.
The other uncontrolled fires are located at the Bunyip State Park .. and near Churchill .. Dargo and Wilson's Promontory.
