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
