Please follow these safety tips when burning. Also, look up before placing a burn pile too close to surrounding trees. Yesterday we attended a burn in Outtrim that had escaped and spread to a gum tree. Thankfully the resident was monitoring the burn and called 000 for assistance. This quick action stopped the fire spreading to the surrounding bush. Thanks to Kongwak CFA for assisting. 🚒🚨🔥

We attended, along with many others, a grassfire started by some hay baling yesterday afternoon near Kooroman. Fortunately there was no wind to spread the fire before CFA crews arrived. And yes, we are aware our truck windscreen needs a clean. 😁
