All Australians are encouraged to celebrate National Agriculture Day. Show your support and say hi! Keep an eye on the AgDay events page for what's on in your area. Visit: www. Firefighters continue to protect properties where possible with the assistance of water bombing aircraft and heavy plant. Over the past few days fire fighters have undertaken extensive back burning operations in the areas of Webbs Creek towards Colo Heights, around St Albans and areas around Putty.
These operations are to reduce possible impacts upon these communities. Further back burning will be implemented to protect communities as conditions allow before deteriorating weather conditions eventuate on Tuesday.
Containment strategies have been implemented along the top of the escarpment above Glen Davis. Property owners are requested to remain vigilant to changing conditions especially on Tuesday.
Smoke from this fire is impacting a very broad area and will likely increase as back burning operations continue from time to time. Please only call Triple Zero if you see fire without a fire truck in attendance or you are directly threatened by fire. If you are not prepared and the fire threatens you, a fire truck may not be able to assist you.
