🔥Today in the early afternoon, we were paged to a grass and scrub fire 🔥
Upon turning out we were advised there may have been a structure under threat.
Thankfully, upon arrival the fire had slowed down due to the help of some quick thinking neighbours.
The fire was brought under control relatively quickly but due to the steep and difficult terrain took a while to extinguish.
Glenlyon was assisted by multiple surrounding briagdes. We want to thank all briagdes for their quick response.
🚨 Please remember even though we are out of fire danger period that due to our area still being pretty dry, fires can and will get out of control if not attended to in the necessary ways 🚨
For example:
- 3 metre area cleared around the fire
- water on hand should something go wrong
- check weather conditions before burning, make sure the wind is below 13km (to gauge this look at tree branches, if they have medium to high movement, it's too windy to burn)
