Vale Firefighter Wayne Collins

More storms are expected this afternoon. There is already plenty of water around and it won’t take much for more flash flooding to occur.

Please keep yourself safe and don’t drive on flooded roads. Our crews have already responded to a number of rescues today.

Check for road closures before you travel and if it’s flooded, forget it.

Backing Onto Bush – Landholder Workshop

On Saturday, 10 October, Wasp Creek Rural Fire Brigade hosted the *Backing Onto Bush* landholder workshop in partnership with Healthy Land & Water.

The workshop focused on helping landholders better understand bushfire behaviour, local fire risks and the factors that influence how fire moves through the landscape.

Through presentations and a guided bushwalk, participants explored vegetation types and habitat, healthy fire and fire history, how fuel loads affect bushfire risk, and the regulations relevant to their area.

The session aimed to build community confidence and equip landholders with practical knowledge to assess bushfire risks on their own properties and take reasonable steps to improve preparedness.

A big thank you to Healthy Land & Water and everyone who attended and contributed to a valuable morning of learning and discussion.

This workshop was supported by funding from the Australian Government.

If you need to report a bushfire, your first call should always be Triple Zero (000).

This helps us make sure crews can be sent where they are needed as soon as possible.
