Community Update!!!
As many of you are aware, just before 11am this morning, our crews were alerted for a grass fire spreading along Glengower Rd,
Following the further information and on the initial approach, the call was escalated and more resources were called upon, at the peak of the fire there was approximately 20 appliances, from CFA, FFMV and even private units were in attendance.
A Watch and Act alert was placed for the Clunes community as a 10+HA grass fire was rapidly spreading. The hard work from our firefighters and local farmers, (who we couldn’t be more thankful for, there hard work doesn’t go unnoticed!) we were able to contain the fire from further spreading, with no loss of structures either
As we head into the colder months of winter 🥶 we cannot stress enough to you, that fires can start anytime, anywhere, so please continue to keep your fire plan up to date, and stay upto date on the vic emergency app,
Would also Iike to touch on the fact, if there’s a situation unfolding, whether it’s a fire, car accident whatever it may be, whilst we understand people may be concerned or wanting to know more information, we ask you to stay clear from the scene and let emergency services do there jobs. Unfortunately today, we had noticed a high presence of people driving up and down the roads trying to see the fire, putting not only themselves into danger but all of our emergency service workers,
so please we ask you to stay clear- if you are really desperate to see the action unfolding, then apply to become a member and give back to your community
