25.01.2022 Beautiful evening = perfect setting for undertaking a burn at a local property as part of our regular training night #lovevolunteering #tfsvollies #hazardreduction

25.01.2022 IMPT: A total fire ban is in effect from 2am Thursday 30 January 2020 until 2am Saturday 1 February 2020. See more details in post below:

24.01.2022 Hazard icons across the country have a new consistent look. The new Australian Warning System introduces several changes to the way the community will be notifi...ed about hazards. We're rolling out the first stage of the changes to the Australian Warning System for bushfire in Tassie today. The changes will include the way bushfire warnings are displayed on the TFS website. From today, consistent colours will be used for: Advice (yellow), Watch and Act (orange); and Emergency Warning (red) The icon shapes will also change on maps from diamonds to triangles. While the colours and icons change, the meanings of the levels do not change. The changes are designed to bring consistency to the way warnings are displayed across Australia. Over time more states will use the new colours and icons and they will be used for other hazards like floods and storms. Further changes will occur in Tasmania in 2021, including enhancements to our warning messages. The Australian Warnings System is based on community research and good practice, in terms of what communities recognise and what gets people to take action during an emergency.

12.01.2022 Gordon campground will close tomorrow in line with the new restrictions to help stop the spread of infection. Notice of closure: Caravans, camping parks and cam...psites (except where people live permanently or if their primary residence isn’t available). People who are staying at caravan parks in Tasmania, have until 11.59pm Sunday 29 March 2020 to depart. Further note: People travelling in caravans and motorhomes cannot self-isolate in the motorhome or caravan because they would usually need to access public or caravan park shower/toilet and waste management facilities over the 14 days. Thanks to all of our supporters and campers for your cooperation and understanding. We hope you visit us again in the future. #StopTheSpread #COVID19Tas

09.01.2022 It's R U OK? Day, a reminder that every day is a day to start a conversation that could change a life. Today we're calling on Australians to learn what to say after R U OK? so they can keep the conversation going when someone says they're not OK. There's more to say after R U OK?... Learn what to say when listening with an open mind Learn what to say when encouraging action Learn what to say when checking in Learn how to continue a conversation that could change a life. When we know what to say next we can help someone open up and find pathways to support long before they're in crisis. Learn what to say next and help us move closer to our vision of a world where we're all connected and are protected from suicide. Head to www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask
