Over the last few weeks our local fire brigades have attended a number of escaped hazzard reduction burns . Although only small ALL had the potential to cause major problems given a change in the weather.
PLEASE remember to ☆ Register your burn with the Tasmania Fire Service on 1800 000 699 ☆ Have adequate water and hose available to do the entire area ☆ Understand the time needed to conduct the burn and if you may need help in doing it safely ☆Be courteous let your neighbour's know your plans ☆ Check the weather forecast , is the wind going to pickup or change direction ☆ Ask your self do I need to burnoff? Is there a more appropriate way of reducing the hazzard , can it be removed or modified by mechanical means , can it be slashed or sprayed , can I get some stock to eat it. ★★★ no matter what you decide it's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY For more info www.fire.tas.gov.au |
