With the weather slowly warming up, preparing for the upcoming fire season might be a top priority for landowners. Over the weekend, multiple private burn-offs became out of control, causing firefighters to rush to properties, alarming neighbours and nearby residents.

So if you are planning a burn, please do so responsibly and register your burn at: https://firepermits.vic.gov.au/ or by calling ESTA's hotline on 1800 668 511.

Great to catch up with sparrow Holloway and present his service medal. Thanks to Tammy and Howi for getting it done.
