January has been a period of extremities for Victoria. In just over a week the state experienced extreme heat, major fires, severe thunderstorms and now flash floods.

"We had a heat alert in multiple districts, we had fire dangers that were extreme. At the end of that we had storm activity and lightning. We've had it all," Emergency Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley said.

Despite the drenching the state is currently receiving authorities said it might not be long before Victoria faced another significant fire risk.
