GOATS, chickens and even ducks as well as people crammed into a relief centre at the height of the bushfire threat in Victoria's east.
About 400 people were in the relief centre in Sale on Friday but only a few remained by Saturday afternoon, Red Cross volunteer Thelma Keeley said.
"(Yesterday) was a nightmare. It wasn't just the people we had animals - goats, horses, chickens, ducks," Ms Keeley told AAP on Saturday.
"People were really so stressed out with the fear of not knowing what's going on."
Nine homes have been destroyed and one man has died in the 50,000-hectare fire which started in the Baw Baw National Park on Thursday.
Benign weather has slowed the blaze and no communities are now under immediate threat.
Ms Keeley said about 40 people stayed at the centre overnight, with most leaving on Saturday morning.
Among those remaining were a few Glenmaggie locals waiting for the all-clear from authorities at a public meeting in Heyfield before heading home.
Ms Keeley urged those affected by the fires to register with the Red Cross national registration and inquiry system.
She said she had fielded at least 10 calls from people trying to find out about loved ones through the system.
