The Fire Season has arrived with a grass and scrub just around the corner.

With a busy day yesterday we really didn’t need more today ,but that’s what we got with a fire in TARGINNIE rd Targinnie which kept both Mount Larcom fire trucks and a Red truck from Gladstone busy for a couple of hours.
Be careful and stay safe.

The Fire Season is Coming, Mount Larcom Tanker and others have spent the day at Mount Tom ( near Agnes Water ) trying to bring an escaped burn off under control. The area looks lovely and green BUT it burnt at a very alarming rate.
Please be careful if doing any burning off and remember YOU need PERMIT for any fire over 2 metres in size.

With the ground drying out, landholders are wanting to burn off.

All fires over 2m in any direction require a permit.

Permits are free.

In rural Queensland the use of fire is controlled through the volunteer Fire Warden network.

Remember, if you live in an urban or rural fringe community, the Fire Warden could be your local fire station.

The Fire Warden’s role includes:
-granting or rejecting applications for permit to light fire
-determining the conditions under which permitted fires can be lit
-advising owners and occupiers of the need for fuel and hazard reduction
-recommending safety precautions for the protection of homes and assets.
