As the fire danger period started on Monday the 14th November. Please have your properties cleaned up. There are 2 firefighting bomber planes based at Ouyen from the 10th November in readiness for any grass/crop/scrub fire outbreak. Please be aware that anyone entering a fire ground, be it on CFA vehicle or private unit, needs to know the procedure of the bombers, as they can drop 3 tonnes of water in a few seconds.

We encourage farmers to take advantage of these guides and to follow them.
