The behaviour of a relatively serious bush fire which broke cut on 25 February 1957, near Broadford (Victoria) is described briefly. Estimates of the average linear and areal rates of spread are presented. The preceding seasonal rainfall distribution and climate are discussed in relation to their effect on the amount and degree of curing of light fuels in the district. In a survey of the various features of the synoptic weather sequence, it is shown that the fire flared up under the influence of weather conditions which are not generally considered to be conducive to the spread of serious fires.
