🔥 Deliberate Grass Fires Put Lives at Risk
On Friday 24 July, our crews attended a deliberate grass fire in a known hotspot area. Due to the recent dry weather, the fire took significant time and resources to bring under control.
While firefighters were tackling this incident, other crews were called to a second large grass fire.
🚫 Deliberate grass fires are not harmless.
They can spread quickly, damage the environment, threaten wildlife and property, and divert firefighters away from genuine emergencies where lives may be at risk.
🚒 Every time crews respond to a deliberate grass fire, those resources are unavailable for incidents such as:
• House fires
• Road traffic collisions
• Other emergencies where immediate help is needed
☀️ With the school holidays underway, we’re asking parents and carers to speak to children and young people about the dangers of fire-setting and the impact these incidents can have on the wider community.
⚠️ If you see suspicious activity or have information about deliberate fires, please report it anonymously through FireStoppers.
