Country Fire Authority boss Jason Hefferman has delivered a message to all Victorians as bushfire season approaches.

Mr Heffernan responded to the Mayor of Murrundindi Shire during Black Saturday Lyn Gunter, who claimed conditions are worse than 2009, stating there has been three years of above average rainfall across the state.

“We do expect to see the traditional summer to return this year,” Mr Heffernan told Neil Mitchell.
