13.01.2022 On high-risk fire days do you have a plan for your animals? Berry’s Creek Captain, Dannielle O’Loughlin is also a dairy farmer in South Gippsland. We paid a visit to her farm to find out what she would do when planning for her livestock, pets and horses.

12.01.2022 Residents in Wedderburn, Fentons Creek, Kurraca, Elphinstone, Taradale, Chewton and Fryers Ridge may see or smell smoke from the re-ignition of the Wedderburn a...nd Elphinstone planned burns that is well underway. Around 90ha at Wedderburn Holts Lane and about 70ha at Elphinstone Tunnel Hill Track will be ignited today. These burns are focussed on reducing the spread and intensity of bushfires near Elphinstone, Wedderburn and surrounding areas. We understand that smoke from planned burns may cause concern, and we want to avoid significant impacts on the health of the community. Under the current health advice, our planned burning program can continue as normal for now. If that advice changes, we will make any adjustments necessary, in consultation with Victorian Department of Health & Human Services, Environment Protection Authority Victoria, CFA (Country Fire Authority) and Vic Emergency. To find out more about planned burning happening in your area, go to www.vic.gov.au/plannedburns or call 1800 226 226.

11.01.2022 Bushfire/Grassfire Grassfires can start anywhere and spread quickly. Reduce your risk when it’s safe to do so. Slash, mow, graze and spray grass near your hom...e and assets, and create fuel breaks. Take care when using chainsaws, lawnmowers, tractors, welders and other machinery on warm days they can all start fires accidentally. If you’re caught in a grassfire move to somewhere with minimal vegetation, such as a ploughed or well-grazed paddock. www.cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare/grassfires-rural

11.01.2022 Have you checked your chimney?

10.01.2022 Are your equines ready? Grassfires can move quickly so planning is important as ever! -Ensure all tack is off the horse including headcollars, rugs and windsuck...ing collars. -If you can't evacuate early, move your horse into a cleared area free from flammable materials. -Ensure ample amounts of water easily accessible and in a safe position. Remember, if in doubt, move them out!! #equinesafety #ifindoubtmovethemout #CFAdistrict20
