CFA have advised of an increased risk of fire across the far south-west of Victoria. Significant grass growth followed by potential drying out during spring is likely to increase fire risk later in the season
Predicted exceptionally warm and dry spring is likely to result in an earlier start to the fire season so Council along with the CFA is preparing firebreaks to reduce potential fuel loads
It’s a timely reminder to start your bushfire season preparations
