A BUSHFIRE burning in northwest Victoria could claim more lives and damage properties, the state's fire services commissioner says.
The 21,000-hectare bushfire in the Grampians region has already killed one person at Roses Gap and is now threatening Halls Gap and surrounding towns.
An evacuation notice has been issued for the towns of Halls Gap, Pomonal, Bellfield, Lake Fyans, Lake Lonsdale, Roses Gap, Dadswells Bridge, Heatherlie and Ledcourt.
Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley says the threat to the area will increase as a southwesterly change comes through on Friday afternoon.
The fire is expected to move into the holiday town of Halls Gap.
"There is a fair chance of losing property and even, if people are caught in the wrong space, a life could be lost," he told reporters.
