15.01.2022 The NSW Rural Fire Service (NSWRFS) is reminding those in the Cootamundra-Gundagai and Hilltops Local Government Area’s of the risks associated with using vehic...les and machinery around crop, pasture and stubble paddocks. We are likely to see hot, dry and windy conditions over the coming Saturday & Sunday Superintendent Andrew Dillon said. It only takes one spark to set off a serious fire that can quickly spread to adjoining paddocks and properties, potentially destroying valuable crops and farming land. If the weather acts as predicted, the NSW Rural Fire Service may issue a harvest alert. This would ask all those who are involved in harvest and other works to stop and check their local conditions before commencing. The NSW Rural Fire Service Grain Harvesting Guide recommends that harvest operations cease when the Fire Danger Index (FDI) reaches or exceeds 35. Harvest may recommence once the FDI falls below in the local area. This can also be applied to non-harvest activities such as slashing and other earth works in paddocks. The grain-harvesting guide can be found at https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au//farm-fi/grain-harvesting-guide If fires start on these days they will be extremely difficult to control, Superintendent Dillon said. Vehicles and machines should be checked at regular intervals throughout the day and a water source or fire extinguisher must be carried to suppress any fire outbreaks. It is also important that those involved in harvest operations regularly take the time to clear grass and vegetation from machines and vehicles to reduce the chance of these fuels getting caught in the drive train or around the guards and mufflers. All machinery and vehicles must have an effective spark arrester fitted to the exhaust system to prevent fires. We recommend the drive train should be cleaned every two-to-three hours on days of increased fire danger. Superintendent Dillon said fire safety should be at the forefront of everyone’s mind at this time of year. NSW RFS officers are available to provide advice on how to best protect a property during the fire season, Superintendent Dillon said.
