Even though we are heading into the colder months having a fire plan ready will allow you to forward plan and be prepared.

Remeber, if you are completing any burnoffs you still need to register the burn via the NSW RFS website https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/notify
and notify neighbours at least 24hrs before the burn.

At 1900 this evening, Blayney brigade was alerted to a grass fire in Neville. Blayney responded and upon arrival with Barry Hobbys Yard brigade, a direct attack was done on the fire to knock it down. With the arrival of Neville and Mandurama the fire was completely extinguished.
This fire was also slowed down due to the owner maintaining fire breaks throughout the property.
This was likely started by lightning strike during this evening storms. This is a reminder to check your properties after a storm.
