Strong winds fuel Victoria park fire
A fire is continuing to burn out of control in a national park in Victoria.

More than 4,000 hectares of bushland have been burnt out.

This morning, water bombers were used to help firefighters save Wilsons Promontory's historic lighthouse, which was under threat.

Two hundred and fifty firefighters have been called in to the national park, but much of the blaze is burning through inaccessible terrain.

Incident controller Ian Christie says crews are also battling unpredictable weather.
