As it happens, the weekend coincides with the Hawks Nest Wildside Festival and so our local RFS brigade will be out in force at the Festival outside the Community Hall in Hawks Nest on Saturday 12 September. They will be providing a wealth of information, handouts and advice to the community on ways in which you can prepare yourself for the upcoming bush fire season.
