Fire crews were called to yet another grass fire in Alfredton overnight.
Crews were called to Cuzens road just after 10.30pm according to Ballarat City Fire Brigade's senior station officer David Mounier.
The location is just off Dyson Drive, a location where police are investigating multiple suspiciously lit fires.
Mr Mounier said the fire was quite small and extinguished quickly.
However, police are not yet investigating this fire in connection with the others.
Yesterday fire crews were left chasing fires across the district with blazes starting in Ross Creek, Invermay, Buninyong and Black Hill.
Today has been listed as a day of total fire ban for the district.
