🔥 CALL OUT – TREE ALIGHT 🔥

This morning at approximately 6:45am, crews from Sherwood Creek and Corindi were paged to reports of a tree alight on Stuart’s Road.

Upon arrival, crews located a log still smouldering following recent hazard reduction works conducted by the Forestry Corporation.

As the log was within already burnt ground and posed no immediate risk to the surrounding area, the decision was made to leave it to burn out.

Campers and visitors are advised that logs may continue to smoulder within the hazard reduction area.

🔥 CALL OUT – BUSH FIRE 🔥

Yesterday afternoon at approximately 14:40, our brigade was paged to reports of a bush fire on Red Range Road, Upper Corindi.

Upon arrival, crews found an area of bushland well alight. A containment strategy was quickly implemented, including a backburn operation to help control the spread of the fire. Crews remained on scene into the evening to ensure all edges were made safe and no hotspots remained.

A big thank you to all assisting brigades for your support and teamwork. 👏
