Given the recent increase in bushfire activity in the surrounding area we have seen a large influx of smoke surrounding Nobby, Clifton and surrounds.

As we head further into bushfire season we can expect to see alot more smoke in our area and it is important we take precautions to stay safe.

Some things we can do to stay safe in periods of thick smoke are:
.Keep windows and doors closed
.keep asthma or other respiratory medication close at hand
.minimise outdoor exposure where possible
. If you know of someone who has a respiratory illness or is succeptable to respiratory issues checkup on them if you are concerned.

In an Emergency remember to always call 000

Over August Nobby RFB has been hard at work conducting hazard reduction burns to prepare for the fire season ahead.

As we head into spring, and the weather begins to warm, its important to make sure you are prepared for fire season and have a bushfire survival plan. There are also plenty of other ways to make your property prepared for bushfire season other than burning. Such as slashing/mowing, cleaning gutters of leaf litter, and creating fire breaks or tracks around assets.

As we head into the warmer months it is likely we are going to see an increase in fire activity, so ensure you are bushfire prepared and in an emergency call 000

If you require a Permit for a hazard mitigation burn. Please contact your local fire warden. Or message us, and we will get back to you with more info.
