 Today we burnt just under 0.7 of a hectare so we covered an area about 350 metres by 30 metres wide at the widest point. There's a mixture of vegetation including grass and bushland so it was very important that we did get it done to clean the area up and promote that native grass regrowth. The burn was a very slow burn. A lot of burns we put a lot of heat into it and get it burnt quickly but we took our time today so it was a lot cooler burn and it helps with the environment and the regrowth of vegetation. I had quite a few new firefighters that haven't seen any fire at all so it was a great opportunity for them to learn about fire behaviour and mopping up or blackening out after as well. Do your fire plan get it out there, let people know, be prepared and hopefully we can get through this fire season without any major fires around Ballarat.
