15.01.2022 We are now approaching two months since the start of the bush fire season for the Mid Lachlan Valley. Across the district our brigades have attended 62 fire rel...ated incidents and 15 other incidents. As grasslands areas continue to dry out and harvesting operations continue, the risk of further incidents are high. Know what to do to get ready. Check www.myfireplan.com.au for tips on how to keep your family and property safe.

12.01.2022 The Mid Lachlan Valley Team have had a very busy day today responding to numerous fires across our area. These fires were due to the lightning activity we rece...ived this afternoon and into the evening. As we finish up for the night we have 11 fires all at patrol status or at least contained. We would like to thank the volunteers, staff, pilots and heavy plant operators who put in long hours today to protect the community. We would also like to thank the landowners and farmers who followed our recommendation to stop harvest and especially to those who got in and helped our brigades in the field. We will be working hard over the next few days to prepare for rise in fire danger over the coming days.
