Planned and agricultural burns across regional Victoria will likely make for a hazy Anzac Day as the state's fire danger season draws to a close.

The Country Fire Authority said Victorians could expect smoke haze in Melbourne and the regions from fuel-reduction burns, agricultural burns and thousands of domestic wood heaters across the state.

CFA chief officer Jason Heffernan said the CFA and Forest Fire Management Victoria were working with the Environment Protection Authority and Bureau of Meteorology to minimise smoke impact.

"Along with the important planned burns that are conducted in our forests, parks and reserves led by FFMV and the many kilometres of road, rail and grassland burns that are led by the CFA, this time of year also sees a large amount of smoke coming from the necessary burn-offs that our farmers and rural property holders complete," Mr Heffernan said in a statement.

"These are part of traditional farming practices where burning off of crop stubble is often needed to kill off weeds and return nutrients and carbon back into the soil."

The notifications came as the CFA lifted the last of its fire restrictions across Victoria in a season characterised by grassfires and intermittent rainfall.

The authority urged landowners to register their burn-offs online at www.firepermits.vic.gov.au or call 1800 668 511.
