AND IT BEGINS
Unfortunately as predicted Victorias fire season is starting early.
Yesterday saw an out of control fire in east Gippsland that spread very quickly blocking the only way in and out for locals.

This is a early warning that yes the grass is green and yes we have had alot of rain in the past month, but our bushland will dry and burn very quickly.

Sadly for parts of Victoria the fire risk is already there.

Plan and prepare now

Stubble burn permits are now being issued/considered for our area and south west district.

Although stubble burns are a common practice every year, please remain vigilant and if something doesnt look right call it in.

There has also been a TOTAL FIRE BAN issued for north Central and north east vic fire districts for the 11/03/2026 (tomorrow)

GREEEN!
One of the many benefits of burning off is the beauty that comes out from the ashes, just a mear 9 days after our roadside burn the other week the native grass springs to life as the weeds still lay burnt to a crisp. And no doubt since the rain we have had more recently the grass will continue to flourish 👌

PLANNED BURNS AGAIN TONIGHT

Today - Thursday 19 Feb from 5.00pm there will be fire trucks getting ready for more roadside burning.

The first part of the burn will be to complete the burning of the south side of Derwent Jacks Rd - starting about 5.30pm - there will be smoke and trucks - please obey the signs.

After this is completed we will move on and do a burn on Cape Clear- Rokewood Rd North of Illabarook

Stay Safe and please avoid the area if possible to ensure our fire fighters and your own safety.

This right here is a prime example of a perfect fire break.

Ryans road - Cape clear.
Burned this sunday the 15th of feb

A fire break like this and not to mention this wide is what communities and towns rely on and could very well be the difference in saving the town and those who live in the area vs complete devastation and loss of life if the worst was to happen.

Again a massive thankyou to all the members across all brigades and HVP who made this possible and the personal on the ground you executed one mighty fine looking road side fire break burn 🙌💪

TOMORROWS FIRE DANGER

🔥TOTAL FIRE BAN DECLARED🔥

Tuesday the 17th of February is sadly yet again going to be a day of concern. With 30-35 degree temperatures and strong north easterly winds gusting to 45kmh before changing to west south westerly with a fire danger index of now 80 (this is in the top end of the *extreme* fire danger rating category) There is also a chance of thunderstroms in the afternoon and evening bringing the risk of potential dry lightning/ lightning igniting fires.

So we yet again please ask to have your fire plans ready.

Check any and all old burn piles (even ones from 6 months ago)

If you live in a fire danger area its allways best to leave early.

The fuel loads in our countryside ARE STILL extremely dry and volatile more so then recent years by a long shot. Meaning any fires that start can and most likely will grow/spread very quickly with or without strong wind.

Stay prepared, stay safe and stay alive

This comes on today being the anniversary of the tragic ASH WEDNESDAY FIRES that saw 180+ fires across the state over 2000 homes destroyed 1.3million acres burnt and 75 people tragically perished during this nightmare day, 17 of those were fire fighters from cfa and cfs.

We will allways remember and we will never forget.
R.I.P to the fallen our hearts thoughts and prayers continue to be with all that were effected on this day 43 years ago.

SUCCESSFUL DAY
Yesterday saw local brigades from Rokewood Junction, Haddon, Smythesdale, Wallinduc and Linton along with HVP and traffic control band together to do roadside planned burns around the community. These burns are a necessary undertaking to improve the safety for our communities and provide essential fire breaks if the worst was to happen.

We would also like to give a HUGE shout out to Donna and paul for whats been reported as the best spread ever put on for our volunteers 💪 hitting the absolute spot 👌
