It comes as Horsham-based Agriculture Victoria staff will need to postpone other work as they lend their expertise to Gippsland farmers recovering from bushfires for at least the next 12 months.

CFA West Region Acting Assistant Chief Officer Michael Boatman said the summer bushfire season still had two months to run in the Wimmera.

"The information we have from the Bureau of Meteorology for the Western part of Victoria there is not a clear indication of higher or lower than average temperature or rainfall - so probably about average," he said.

"But for the Wimmera, that would generally mean there are a fair few days yet where temperatures will be warm and dry, and there is the chance for fires to run, either caused by lightning or other mechanisms.

"We have had some rain in recent weeks, intermittent and patchy as it is, but there are some areas where there is some grass regrowth.

"That could dry out if we get a sustained burst of dry or warmer weather, and there would be the chance of potentially extreme fire weather in grassland and forest., but the chance of those higher fire risk days do decline as the days shorten."

Mr Boatman suggested farmers on the edge of towns take advantage of cooler, wetter days to deal with new grass growth.

"Has the stubble been slashed and removed after harvest? Is the grass being managed as it regrows so there is less risk of fires for their urban neighbours?" he said.

Mr Boatman said vehicles from firefighting districts 15 and 16 remained in Gippsland in case fires still burning in the region flared up again.

"Over the last 10 days, the fires have grown by about 1000 hectares. That is new land that has burnt, some of it on the edge in pretty remote country, but not causing a risk to anyone at this stage," he said.

Earlier this week, the CFA provided 102 new structural firefighting helmets to District 17 volunteers, including members of the Horham, Nhill and Rupanyup brigades.

CFA chief officer Steve Warrington said the helmets had specific benefits for internal structure firefighting, including flame-resistant multi-layer neck flaps.

While no Wimmera residents are helping fight fires in Victoria's east, the region's involvement is far from over.

Agriculture Victoria's senior veterinary officer Paul Beltz said Horsham-based staff would likely be called in to assist with farmers' recovery in coming months because of their unique expertise.

"There are two aspects to Horsham," he said.

"We have a huge scientific base here in terms of crop health and introducing new varieties, and also quite a few staff that are involved in extending - establishing how information from scientists can be used on the ground.

"We also have a lot of knowledge in terms of pasture rehabilitation, crop rotation, soil health that are going to be important in terms of how do we get the farmland to recover.

"(Horsham staff) will deliver some of those projects and workshops over there. That will become their planned work for this year, and some of the things they were going to deliver will be postponed.

"It may be farms have areas that need to be resown, and areas that are going to recover naturally, it's about discussing and assisting farmers with knowing what to do."

Mr Beltz said Agriculture Victoria staff normally supported fire-affected farmers intensely for at least a year. He said the impact on livestock in eastern Victoria were "quite considerable".

"I think all up we have lost about 6000 head of sheep and cattle (lost on about 1300 properties we have assessed," he said.
