The Werribee CFA responded to their first grass and scrub fire for the season on Thursday when called to an out-of-control burn-off on K Road, Werribee South at about 1.30pm.
When crews arrived they found a grass fire that had spread to around six hectares in size, and multiple piles of green waste had caught alight.
The fire was brought under control at 2.12pm but crews remained at the scene for some time afterwards blacking out.
The Werribee CFA had nine vehicles on the scene and received support from Victoria Police, Ambulance Victoria, Fire Rescue Victoria and FFMVic.
With drier than expected weather forecast Werribee CFA are warning residents to be mindful of changing conditions.
