FIREFIGHTERS are continuing to battle an out-of-control blaze that has burned out 850 hectares and is threatening the community of Boho, near Benalla, in northeast Victoria.
Around 42 tankers have been fighting the fire, which started on Sunday afternoon.
Five aircraft that had been involved in trying to tame the blaze were grounded as night fell.
A 60-year-old man was burned on the legs as he fought the original grassfire at 1.30pm (AEDT) that grew quickly.
Ambulance Victoria spokesman John Mullin said the man suffered burns to about 18 per cent of his lower body, but after being treated by paramedics he refused to go to hospital.
In its latest alert the CFA described the fire as large and slow moving.
It is in the Harry's Creek Road south of Smith Road, Boho area and travelling in a northeasterly direction.
It was most active on Upper Boho Road and Sawpit Gully Road and surrounds.
