A total fire ban has been declared for the Northeast pastoral district for today (31 October 2022), that will apply for 24 hours (until midnight tonight).
When a total fire ban has been declared, that means very hazardous fire weather conditions have been predicted. The condition for the Northeast pastoral district has been marked as “extreme”.
The CFS recommends that residents in the Northeast pastoral district implement their Bushfire Survival Plans.
Where fire ban districts have a forecast fire danger rating of Extreme, only well prepared, well constructed and actively defended houses are likely to offer safety during a fire.
If you don’t have a plan to ensure your survival, leaving early before a fire starts is your safest option. In making your plan, you should be aware that in high fire danger conditions, essential services including mains-fed electricity and water supply may not be available due to the prevailing weather conditions.
Landowners are asked to adhere to local harvest codes of practice which are available from your local council.
Landowners are also asked to ensure that any burn-off activities conducted today are fully extinguished before midnight tonight.
Agencies are advised to activate their Total Fire Ban procedures in preparation for these predicted fire weather conditions.
