Devon Meadows, Warneet-Blind Bight CFA Brigades and Coastguard Hastings presented a grassfire and bushfire awareness session in Cannons Creek on Saturday 18 November.
Targeted at residents in Cannons Creek, Warneet and Blind Bight, the session included information on the local fire risks, the fire danger ratings, when to leave, how to prepare properties for fire, and what can and can’t do in the fire danger period.
There was a burns table showing how a fire may behave in certain terrains following the talk.
Devon Meadows and Warneet-Blind Bight CFA Brigades also launched their Property Advice Visit service, with 12 properties putting their names down to get this done in the next few weeks before the fire danger period starts.
Kids were shown the fire trucks that respond in their local area, squirted water and had a visit from Captain Koala.
This was the first bushfire awareness session run since Covid and will be an annual event.
