Hi folks looks like there is some serious wind's on the way for Sunday and Monday so best to make sure everything is tide down or put away and if you were thinking of lighting up probably best to hold off. If things do go pear shaped please ring the SES if you require help. 132500

We are now in the open season in the SW sector of the City of Albany so no permits are required But we do please ask you to register your burn on 93959210 which is the DFES number to avoid any false callouts to fire's we don't need to attend thanks

Hi folks the weather forecast is for very windy conditions tomorrow and warm temps before a possible wet change later in the day so all permits are suspended until it comes back down to moderate thanks.
