For those who aren’t aware, the Australian Fire Authorities Council (AFAC) releases quarterly bushfire risk forecasts for Australia, which can be well worth reading. For us here in South West Victoria, the current predictions are for an earlier than normal start to our local fire risk. We will be talking more soon about how you can prepare for the fire season ahead.

AFAC has released Australia’s national bushfire outlook for spring with fire authorities predicting a heightened risk of fire across northern and southeastern NSW, south-east Queensland, northeastern Tasmania, parts of WA, SA and Victoria, and large parts of the NT.
