THOUSANDS of Victorians are on alert as a monster blaze, which has claimed one life, several homes and 50,000 hectares of land, continues to rage.
An 80-year-old man perished in his car in the driveway of a home in the Gippsland town of Seaton yesterday - the state's worst bushfire day since Black Saturday.
Victorians are today bracing to fight further fires.
Residents in Maffra, Sale, Rosedale and Stratford have been put on alert for smoke with an out-of-control 50,000ha fire heading east-northeast today.
Fire authorities are also yet to hear from 35 people, including 20 firefighters, stranded in Licola with the road in and out of the town cut off
