Wednesday's operation was at Tang Tang Swamp, with a second burn at Thunder Swamp.

FFMVic deputy chief fire officer Scott Falconer said the burns were nominated by Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation.

"We partner with Traditional Owners so that fire can be used in a way that supports cultural and land management aspirations," deputy chief Falconer said.

"These cultural burns are in addition to the planned burning conducted for fuel management by FFMVic," he said.

Cultural burn planner Mick Bourke said the burn at Tang Tang Swamp east of Dingee and the burn at Thunder Swamp, north east of Raywood , were aimed at improving the health of Country.

"These burns aim to promote the growth of native grasslands and remove invasive weeds," Mr Bourke said.

"Annual burning of these areas, along with reseeding with kangaroo grass, will improve the health of the understorey.

"This will improve the health of Country over time and give Dja Dja Wurrung members access to native food and fibre at these locations."

There are 10 Traditional Owner burns planned for the Murray Goldfields fire district in 2020, while there have been more than a dozen cultural burns in Victoria in the past two years.

The Victorian Traditional Owner Cultural Fire Strategy was launched by the Minister for Environment, Energy and Climate Change, Lily D'Ambrosio last May.

It was the culmination of two years' work and thousands of years of knowledge and know-how from Traditional Owners across Victoria.

Wurundjeri Elder David Wandin and Dja Dja Wurrung chief executive officer Rodney Carter were both major contributors to the strategy.

FFMVic works closely with the Bureau of Meteorology to assess weather conditions, such as humidity, temperature and wind speed.

Future burns will only continue when the conditions are suitable and it is safe to do so.

The organisation says it will continue to comply with Department of Health and Human Services requirements and prioritise the safety of the Victorian community as well as staff.

Reducing fuel is essential to keeping Victorians safe and while it can be done safely, the organisation says it will look for every opportunity to do so.
