24.01.2022 Pursuant to Reg 24C Bush Fires Regulations 1954, a Harvest, Vehicle Movement & Hot Works Ban has been imposed for the Shire of Northam for Tuesday 24th Nov 2020 from 1000hrs with a review at 1800hrs This is additional to the DFES Total Fire Ban Report all sign of fire to 000

24.01.2022 Northam VFRS will be conducting planned burns at various locations around Northam on Saturdays and some weekdays as per approved Shire of Northam permits until early November. As always we will door knock and notify residents nearby and our appliances will always be at the property Planned burning is the deliberate burning of a specific area, under carefully managed conditions, to reduce fuel such as dead wood and leaf litter thus potentially reducing the impact of fire. Wh...en a fire enters an area of reduced fuel, the rate of bushfire spread slows and the intensity at which it burns is reduced. This means landholders and firefighters have a better chance of containing the fire and it is less likely to cause damage to property. If you are in an area of smoke: Stay indoors and close all windows and doors. Bring your pets and any laundry inside. If your air conditioner is on, switch it to ‘recycle’ or ‘recirculate’ to reduce smoke coming inside your home. Thank you for your understanding

13.01.2022 What will you do if there is a bushfire? Over 90% of WA is bushfire prone. Make your plan at https://www.dfes.wa.gov.au/Pages/default.aspx. Fire can travel fast and indecision is one of the biggest killers. Also consider doing a run through of what you will do when you leave early or stay and defend. Have you planned for your animals? Is your firefighting equipment ready to be used?
