25.01.2022 Swanbank rd Swanbank (permitted burn) The Brigade is attending a hazard reduction burn at Swanbank this evening. Smoke may affect residents and motorists in the area. Residents should close their doors and windows and keep medication close by if suffering from a respiratory condition. Motorists should use caution and drive to conditions. If you believe your property is under threat, you should call Triple Zero (000) immediately.

24.01.2022 THURSDAY TUTORIAL TIME If you could contact one person today, who would it be? Why not make it your local fire warden and apply for a Permit to Light Fire? ...Conducting a hazard reduction burn on your property will help stop a bushfire from starting and spreading. 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. Lit outdoors in a proper fireplace for the purpose of cooking (e.g. BBQ and camp fires) Certain fires used by primary producers and for industrial purposes. See more
