In the interim the Executive Committee has selected a shed supplier and arranged for development and building applications to be processed. After last year's successful turnout of twenty residents, another Equipment Day will be held before this fire season. Terry Hancock our Equipment Officer will be on hand to inspect brigade firefighting gear. The Brigade's tanker and other gear will be present so that people can refresh their memories on how to operate the pump and radio before the fire season gets under way. Remember that members who have bushfire brigade equipment should bring it along to be checked.
Terry is also happy to check private firefighting equipment.
Every year landowners in the brigade area burn to control weeds and feral animals and to reduce the potential bushfire hazard. Neighbours include land owned by the National Parks and Wildlife Service along the Budawang Range and Forestry land in the Monga State Forest. A telephone call is sufficient for these two authorities. You must remain with your fire at all times until it is out. Throughout the fire season landowners must obtain a permit to burn before lighting a fire.
