Woodend volunteers were today called to yet another burn-off that spread quickly. Fortunately crews were able to bring it under control before it spread too far. It’s still early in the season, but with dry conditions and a bit of wind, a fire can spread very quickly. If you are going to burn off please consider a few things:

  • Check conditions before you light up
  • Make sure you clear around the burn area
  • Don’t make the fire too large
  • Don’t burn too close to trees and bushes
  • Make sure you have a source to extinguish any fire spread
  • Never leave a fire unattended
  • Make sure you also register your burn by calling 1800 668 511

Thanks to today’s crews for a job well done!
