WISEMANS FERRY ROAD MAROOTA HAZARD REDUCTION
Just letting residents in the Maroota, South Maroota, and Sackville North areas know that a planned hazard reduction burn is taking place this Monday, 27th April. Crews have been preparing this approximately two-hectare burn, located between Wisemans Ferry Road and Haerses Road in Maroota, for some time now and will be taking advantage of the favourable conditions over the long weekend. Please be aware that smoke will be present throughout the area on Monday.

Key actions include:
Keep doors and windows closed to prevent smoke entering homes
Keep outdoor furniture under cover to prevent ember burns
Retract pool covers to prevent ember damage
Remove washing from clotheslines
Ensure pets have a protected area
Vehicles must slow down, keep windows up, turn headlights on
Sightseers must keep away from burns for their own safety
If you have asthma or a lung condition, reduce outdoor activities if smoke levels are high and if shortness of breath or coughing develops, take your reliever medicine or seek medical advice
