A waterbomber has been brought in to stop a fast-moving grass fire that broke out on the outskirts of Melbourne, adding to the smoke that's been blanketing the city. The Bureau of Meteorology anticipates a cold front arriving late on Monday night to clear up the smoke haze lingering over Melbourne during the Easter weekend. This unexpected turn of events has left residents concerned about air quality and visibility in the area.

As the waterbomber maneuvers to combat the grass fire, the haze continues to blanket Melbourne, creating a surreal atmosphere over the city. The scent of burning grass mixes with the already smoky air, causing a sensory overload for residents and visitors alike. Many Easter plans have been disrupted by the unexpected smoke haze, leading to a hazy and eventful holiday weekend.

Despite the challenges posed by the smoke haze, authorities are working tirelessly to contain the grass fire and minimize the impact on the surrounding areas. As the waterbomber swoops in for another round of firefighting, the city watches in awe at the dramatic efforts to combat the blaze. Will the cold front bring relief and clear skies, or will the smoke haze persist, creating a smoky Easter memory for Melbourne residents?

In a twist of fate, the planned burns meant to reduce future fire risks have inadvertently contributed to the current smoke haze situation in Melbourne. It's a reminder of the delicate balance between fire prevention efforts and the immediate consequences that can arise. As the city awaits the arrival of the cold front, residents are hopeful for clearer skies and a fresh start after a hazy Easter weekend.
