18.01.2022 While the wind was blowing we couldn’t complete the intended hazard reduction burns for landholders. So we took the opportunity to train one of our members on driving and clean some hydrants. Luck would have it that these hydrants hadn’t been inspected in a long time meaning we had to dig them out from under grass and dirt..... If you have a hydrant on your nature strip please help us by making sure it’s clearly visible and clean around it...you never know when we might need it.

Not sure if you need a permit to light a fire? Fires that don’t need a permit are: Less than two metres in any direction.
